Wip :: Another Cushion

Warm day, nice to clean my little garden, preparing the soil for tulip bulbs. Another day we had some snow which was a surprise for me, because I wasn't watching the weather report. My children got really excited about the snow. So earlier this year. All has melted away.

They made a snow man...lots of fun!

And I made another cushion. First, I show you wip photos...come back later to see it ready. I am using 2 different fabrics. For the back, this embroidered linen that I've found at Joann sometime ago. I've added some green stitchings to the leaves. Just a little bit! For the front, a brown natural linen that Nathalie sent to me as a gift.

This vintage doily was purchased at a local shop and I've dyed it on stovetop with Rit Dye (Kelly Green 32). Are you wondering why it has two shades of green? I guess the pale green is not pure cotton. Rit doesn't work well on some fibers.

When I was younger I did not like these doilies. For me they were just old fashioned . Now I am getting older!! Haha! Just kidding! I like this vintage modern trend. I would not use doilies on top of my furniture for example, but I might change my mind. I like using it in an unique way. Have you seen these before? Aren't they cute? How about this? I also like doilies as coasters. Doilies made of paper to wrap bottles or jars, maybe? A bag addorned with a doily, perhaps? What's your ideas for doilies? Would you like to show me? You are more than welcome! Post your ideas or links to your creative doily use.
