Lovely cushion.....all gorgeous fabric......That was good of them to let you keep.
I like that company and have had fabric from them in the past.
If not more cushions, enough for a throw and unravel the edge to fringe?
Long ago and far away I asked an American flight attendant (then called hostesses) for a cushion, she looked at me oddly and then it dawned on her...'Oh, you mean a pillow'.....So it was always a pillow from then on!

I have been knitting all my life - am on a knitting binge at the moment....can't seem to stop buying expensive yarn....my stash at the moment (don't laugh you real stashers) is enough Fyberspates for a tabbard in dk and enough Malabrigo Rios for a sweater....then I fell for some mulberry silk from posh yarn for a cowl sort of thing.  I am knitting a sweater from Debbie Bliss Rialto 4 ply - this I had complimentary from DB as I 'complained' in the nicest possible way that her Fine Donegal Tweed yarn is a disaster....very, very thin in places and not strong so the waistcoat I am wearing will not last long.  This is the last yarn I bought before consulting Ravelry as to the quality of yarn...great site and so helpful.  Sewing is taking second place to knitting at the moment but I have too much cardmaking to do at the present time.
I am so glad that our Mods got this site going...thanks so much....so glad to be back among my 'needle' friends.
Just editing to say I'm glad the avatar came up...in case you want to know...it is Glenveagh Castle Gardens in Donegal...a great place to visit....and the gates are open to welcome you in!
