Patricia's Trapunto Cushion Covers
Patricia has taken Kay's Trapunto Cushion Cover and made it uniquely her own by replacing the centre design with a treasured counted cross stitch stitched by her sister many years ago.
Patricia told us:
"The design is a counted cross stitch design that my one sweet sister did for me on a sweatshirt that I wore until it almost became threads, but I never threw it away. She passed away two years ago from ALS, and I used the KK pillow design to make this pillow in memory of her."
Thank you for sharing this very special project with us, Patricia. ❤️
