Well this is what I made, an 18" X 18" cushion. All of it was made from very old lace, doileys, anti-macassers ( chair backs ) and embroidery pieces from the early days. most of it was hand sewn apart from the calico cushion itself that I made to hold all these bits and pieces from years long gone. The Mini model was also designed and created by me and sometimes I felt totally out of my depth, fingers took their toll with all the hand sewing. I had to make the little coat-hanger too. Hope you like it as much as Annie did. The card was made before I started sewing, so at least I never had to think about it. Stay Safe my Friends. Hugs Rita xxx

Oh what an absolutely perfect gift for Annie - I know she will treasure it. Such glorious vintage laces and made with such thoughtfulness and love. The coat hanger is completely enchanting, and the card is also superb - so pretty. I've had a birthday during lockdown too... and actually enjoyed it quite a lot, I have to confess!
Stay safe, stay well.
