This is one of a series of cushion covers I have been appliqeing during the course of the year.

It was made for my sister's boy Matthew and it says Matthew both ways up in a very stylised way.

It was difficult to find fabrics that I thought a teenage boy would like - especially in my local quilt shop which tends to specialise in either flowery stuff or novelty stuff. But they do some very lovely hand-dyed fabrics and the black fabric has quite an industrial texture.

It was great fun to design and put together.

All the rest are here on my blog.

I chose this one for here because the name Matthew was so well suited to being an ambigram Very Happy

Please let's see some more of all your best of 2006, everyone!
