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

Vintage Cushion and Mini Model
Hi Everyone. Hope you are all ok as things can be very difficult for us all during this time in our lives. Last week was my precious daughter Annie's birthday, and most off you who know her will also know how much she adores vintage.

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.
