Let them be small made into cushion

On Monday evening I made the Lizzie Kate design Let Them be Small into a cushion.   Just a simple envelope back with plain borders on the front using some brown with cream circles fabric from my stash.   And it looks so much better pressed.   I had to be very careful with the iron.  The linen needed steam but as the threads are hand dyed I know from bitter experience that they can bleed.

The wording is particularly poignant as I spent a lovely day with my grandchildren and now won't see them for 5 weeks while they spend their summer holiday in Spain.
