Sewing?... what sewing?

I just had a little think and my blog is not true to its name at the present.
my sewing has gone to the back of the shelf ,due to a sick mother and a VCE
daughter and a vegie garden.
As Autumn turns to winter the idea of the cold workroom is a bit hard ..
If I think about it though I do have two heaters I can turn on,
and I do have a couple of projects on the go.
One is two large seat cushions which I have made out of an amazing Persian rug
from a friend .I have actually done the sewing including backing each piece
with calico as it very loosely woven.
Also gussets and strong zips and strong thread.
The hard part is turning them inside out and filling the foam inserts.
i am going to bring them home and get "Muscles"(Adam) to help me.

I am off to Montsalvat to photograph the Smoke bush and my right side in
cushions..
