Crazy patchwork cushion

My apologies to those of you who looked and/or commented on my previous posting for today. I decided that it was just too awful so I've deleted it! Instead I've been working on a crazy patchwork cushion today and this is a close-up of the detail. It's a way of using up lots of fabric scraps. I've enjoyed playing around with some of the fancy stitches my machine can do.

Really pretty and a good use of remnants.

Great work

[Pat Knowles]

Did you do this Judith, you are a very talented lady!!! Your sewing machine is in good hands!

[Judith Greenwood]

I love those fancy stitches - do you use special thread for them?

[Lesley Allen]

Seems like you have a lot of choice of stitches, must be difficult to choose which stich,colour thread and shape. You have put it all together beautifully.

Lovely warm colours - and beautiful handiwork!

[Phil Howcroft]

a fine array of colours judith :)

[Sue McCarter]

Lovely Autumnal colours.

[Cynthia McNair]

It's lovely Judith, always fun to use decorative stitches on the sewing machine.

[Mair]

Beautiful handwork and lovely autumn colours.

[Shirley Banford]

Excellent shot.

Thank you all for your response to my cushion. @lesleyallen I do have a lot of stitch choices on my machine. This is a great way of trying them out and using this as a sort of sampler. @happypat Yes this is all my own work although I did go to a class to learn how to do the crazy patchwork. @judithg No I didn't use any special thread, just used up lots of old bits of ordinary thread. It was fun to do. @mogmitchell Thanks for that - I never thought of it in terms of Autumn colours but you're right. I fancy doing a Christmas one now using up oddments of Christmas fabric.
