Outdoor cushions

[Virgs Sew n Sew]

Love the fabric Kody.  I did indoor cushions for a couch/loveseat combo with a similar fabric last fall.  It was more oranges/reds and definitely would keep you up at night : ) but the lady and her family just loved them.  Like you, I just used the old fabric for a pattern and hoped the upholstery Gods were smiling on me.

I also did an ottoman for a 92 year old lady with the wildest paisley print I've ever seen.  She was delighted with it and kept joking about keeping her visitors awake when they were her family room.  She and her hubby were just jewels to work with.  He was a WWII Vet and just an absolute doll.

Sorry, rambling again.  But I think the cushions look fabulous!

We just finished two swivel rockers for a couple both in their 90's. He also was a WWII Vet. He took me into his trophy room. He had some awesome memorabilia. Not to many of those folks around anymore.

Tomorrow (Friday June 6) is the 70 th anniversary of D-Day, the invasion of northern France that established a beach head to allow the liberation of Europe. The Manitoba contingent has only 5 veterans who saw action that day and 60 some who were in reserve or combat service support who were able to make the trip to the ceremony.BTW 369 young Canadians paid the ultimate price that day on Juno beach.

LEST WE FORGET

Thanks to our fallen heroes, I can also say that tomorrow is my 37th wedding anniversary, as well as my daughter's 24th birthday.

Yup, those who served in WWII truly were "the Grand Generation"

I served in the 70's and I cannot imagine the folks I served with doing the heroic acts with almost certainty that they weren't going to survive.  Those folks are my definition of heroes.
