I was definitely stressing about this ......... until I saw that most of us feel the same ....... now I'm trying desperately to calm down a bit. I'm still considering designs and "auditioning" them in my head (which is not necessarily a good thing).
I shan't be able to make a proper start until next week as I still have a mountain of things to be sorted for Mum's funeral - printing, catering, flowers etc etc. Once I've finished that I can give my attention to the cushion - which will be a pleasant relief ....... or, at least, I hope it will be.
Until then the designs are floating around in my brain with all sorts of other "stuff".
Edited to add: I don't want anyone to stress about making a cushion for me either - I will be delighted with whatever I receive. I'm just happy to be taking part in this swap.
