Spring Has Sprung!

Dads!   They all have funny little say­ings don’t they!   Every single year of my life my Dad would start Septem­ber with a funny little poem…

 “Spring Has Sprung,
The Grass Has Ris,
I Won­der Where The Bird­ies Is?”

and now I’m all grown up you can hear that same poem around my house as the weath­er starts to warm up.    My kids nev­er roll their eyes like I did when Dad said it (or maybe I just don’t look to closely at them when I say it so I don’t see them rolling and sighing!).

With Spring here it seemed a per­fect time to open up the doors to let the warm­er air in and sew a quick pro­ject with this pretty Bloom & Bliss fab­ric from Nadra Ridge­way of Ellis & Hig­gins.  Isn’t it just so sweet!

Bloom & Bliss Fabric

My ori­gin­al idea was to make a cush­ion with flowers on it.  Until the flowers ended up look­ing like hearts and then, I thought I’d make a cush­ion with hearts on it.   I’m super adapt­ive like that!

The cush­ion is 12″ x 16″ and has an envel­ope back.  The flowers/hearts were some­thing I adap­ted from a block I saw on Pin­terest.  The web­site it links to isn’t very quilt related and there are no instruc­tions (or any­one to cred­it) I’m sorry.

I love a quick pro­ject and with so many things hap­pen­ing here lately it was nice to sit at the sew­ing machine for an unin­ter­rup­ted hour to make this cush­ion.   My favour­ite kind of sewing.

Thanks for pop­ping by.  Have a great week,

  1. Lovely and soft cush­ion — per­fect for Spring (or East­er). I love that you’ve Nad­ra’s fab­rics — it’s so funny how our little group is all con­nec­ted now and there’s this nat­ur­al cross-over. Perfect!
