I’m nearly finished the canvas work sampler that I’m working on at the moment but I completed this cushion cover a while back. It’s a very simple design as you can see.

I love quilts and this is based on a traditional American patchwork pattern. It was quite relaxing to do and I was able to use up a lot of odds and ends of wool left over from other projects, so it was all very economical.

This pattern came from the lovely book- Mary Norden’s Needlepoint. I think it’s quite a good book for beginners.

As you can see I changed the design slightly to make the fences go all around the houses.

The pattern is called Home Sweet Home.
