    Had this Thai Silk forever so I thought I would make a pair of cushions for a friend who has not been too well, hope she likes them.

    Last time I visited her I noted the colors in her lounge suite, I think they will go rather well. Was not the easiest fabric to work with, Thai Silk frays while you look at it.

    Wow!! Those are the most beautiful pillows I have seen! I can only imagine sewing with that silk. Did you use the serger? Excellent work.

    No I did not use a "Serger" I swear too much at them when the thread breaks so I gave mine away to a good home. Took me ages to work out what a "Serger" was, here down under they are known as "Overlockers".

    Bit like me thinking your Barn Quilts were made out of fabric, two countries divided by a common language.
