I LOVE THESE! Nothing beats a cushion cover, and you've made some beauties! Lovely work.

I'm loving the color change you made! The blue is just beautiful.

I stitched this design and finished it as a cushion cover - it was so much fun! I really like your stitching and wanted to get one of those lovely work bags but they are sadly out of stock! Enjoy yours! And thanks for sharing.

Best presents ever! Look at you go.

I really like what you did with the hem. I agree that anything too fussy would detract. Nice Work!

You did all of this since June? Gosh, you're a whiz! These gifts will be treasured for generations, so lovely.

Your stitching is lovely! And the colors! I can't wait to stitch this.

Update: They arrived within three days, and boy howdy are they gorgeous. Floss jewelry is a sight to behold! I like that they have the slightest bit of heft. The way they close is super practical and there's plenty of room to load them up with floss organizers. Bee-yoo-tee-full, check! Easy to use, check! Practical, check! You could also use them for your house keys if you're so inclined. I'd post a picture, but you really just need to go to the site and get some. They look exactly like the photos there.

This is fantastic! Your hem is lovely.

In terms of straight up stitching, I'm still working on a large Celandine. I'm nearly around the bend on the gold color, then will fill in the little bits. It's taking a long time because we're packing up our house for an interstate move in the coming months and it's hogging my stitching time. But it's all good - it was still 100 degrees here yesterday afternoon, and I've never been so anxious to wear a sweater! And socks! I really miss proper shoes and socks.

Once again, you've managed to get me to say ooooh out loud. I really like how the elegance of this design is framed by your hemwork. Your corners are SO special - you really need to write a book so that we can all study your technique. It's difficult to find instructions for hemming, especially for hemming that turns a corner.

Merciful goodness! This is so stunningly beautiful, I can hardly stand to look at it. I am so glad there are unicorns like you who refuse to let beautiful techniques be forgotten. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Oooohhhhh! Me Likey! Your hem stitching is gorgeous!

I'm working on a very long one of these myself, probably about 35" but I'm not entirely sure just yet. I wish I'd studied yours more carefully before I stitched the corners - the little bit of negative space is a nice touch. And the border changes are brilliant! And you switched the orientation of the inner border! And your soft colors are so calming! So wonderful!

This is one of my favorite posts of all time! The pillow from your husband's Baba is gorgeous, and now he will have one from you. These are both lovely.

SO Pretty! Love the movement the floss provides!

I haven't had much time for posting because of some big changes I'm working on in my personal life. All good, but not much time for much else right now. I do make a little time for stitching every day, even if it's only 15 minutes. I find that it soothes me and keeps me focused on my other goals. So glad you seem to have found your way back to center!

I'm a serial color changer, and was thinking of switching out the terra cotta as well. I like what you've done, and now you've got me inspired. Will definitely get out the doodle cloth before committing, because I have the large kit.

Such a beautiful gift!!!!

I'm not seeing the error. My take on this is that, if the stitches are technically good and the mistake doesn't disrupt the alignment of the design, I will often leave it in place. Then I call it "charming!" Sometimes frogging can do more harm than good and it can be difficult to find the mistake weeks or months later.
