74987043WellI think they are beautiful and all you have to say to your family when they ask what you will do with them is say "I'm going to enjoy them".
61222442465926Gorgeous! Just send them to me if you need something to do with them! Actually, I'd give them to whoever asked the question!
My brother once said to me, "Can't you just buy something like that?" I laughed. I'm sure they meant no offense.
33640They are lovely. The piping highlights the colors of your work and is the perfect touch.
1334Fantastic pillows, great designs, good work don't let the family remarks get you down. I have a family like that.
19282You have done a great job with these. I think people that don't sew or embroider actually don't understand the love, time and effort that goes into everything we make.
13241These are beautiful and you have done a fantastic job with them. Only those who do this kind of thing know how much work goes into something like this.
2259221044They are all lovely designs. If I needed to select one, I couldn't.
For the reaction of your family; tell them you need all these pillows to relax. Don't bother about them.. some people can't understand the effort in these things

11700They are all lovely, i especially like the boot and flowers you have done a great job with the cushions. You have some wonderful presents for any occasions all ready. Sandra.
24329I would probably have answered them by saying " well you will each get one for Christmas". LOL. Great looking cushions/Lillian

5267610990WOW those are lovely, I was leaning toward the bfly ones until I enlarged the pict twice and not I have more favorites. ;-).. The bow (non-emb) on the boot is a wonderful touch. Great job.
I would say you have a lot of Christmas presents made and hopefully they were all hoping for one but didn't want to be to obvious.
Know a lady who made an emb crazy patch quilt for a family member and the response was 'that is nice' ..

If you saw previous entry you will know that the bow on the boot is a cover up as I used tear away stabaliser which was wrong and things moved without my permission!
6583All cushions are so beautiful. Well done! Best likes me the one with the palm tree.If You don't need all cushions I can gladly give you my address.LOL😉
10205These look great! Did you do the piping? Love it! I have tons available, just not the patience. I guess I should look at youtube for tips, unless you have any??
173580Well done glad you persevered until you had it worked out. I had a friend who said things like that when I bought my first embroidery machine. But then she had no hobbies and wasn't creative at all.
You have done a wonderful job on these. If your family live with you tell them you are making more and going to do what the designers do on all those house shows on TV. Put 20 cushions on each Bed and when they go to bed at night will have to remove them. LOL
What fabric did you use? Looks a bit like a LInen.

Not sure the fabric is called Bacall and from Laura Ashley in England. Its a bit of a basket weave. Must discover if it will wash!
29723I love them all and you've done an excellent job with piping. Families can be weird sometimes! Love Chris
234254Gill what lovely work, I love the way that you have finished the cushions off with coloured piping. Families do make some daft comments.
114388yes my boys say that plus other dumb things**Anyways there beautiful hugs
360437Beautiful! Maybe you should have said "I'm going to let you pick out one for Christmas!" :-)
