Over Rachel's Shoulder UPDATED

Rachel of the Virtuosew Blog has been working on a Bargello patchwork cushion cover for quite a while and today, she started posting about how she made it up into a long cushion cover.  This is a gift for her mother.  First, they had to block it.  I'll update this article as Rachel gets it made up.  By the way, if you are interested in seeing how Rachel came up with this original patchwork design, look for "Crazy Canvaswork Cushion" at the bottom of this article and click on that.  All the articles Rachel wrote as she designed and stitched this will magically appear.

Cushion-y

If you find yourself getting stiff after a long session in your stitching chair, how about checking out Ridgewood Needlepoint's latest find?  I have plenty of posterior padding myself but this does look like something useful to have!
