After washing in the machine, the fabric frayed considerably, which I quite liked. My children liked it too. But Phil was a bit concerned....
I trimmed the loose threads, so it looks a little less out of control; a little neater.
Here it is, before and after.
I would appreciate any feedback
Hello Julie, Well done! You will be quilting before you know it!!! And with your artistic ability????? I really like the before cushion rather than the after wash one. I really like the first cushion on your blog....very nice. Aunty Daph. xx

I love loose threads! On a number of my embroidered works I've left the threads loose and I have had one woman insist I leave the threads loose on the embroidered part of her skirt, which was brilliant!! I really enjoy that you can see the process and the fragility. There's no pretence...This is what it was, where it began, what it is and who knows what it might become?
