My project to make<br />

SUNRISE CUSHION<br />

This cushion cover is an abstract sunrise design. I love<br />

the simplicity of the stained glass effect and how eye<br />

catching it is. I wanted to try and replicate this in the<br />

design whilst combining the positivity of a sunrise. At<br />

different orientations it doesn’t look like a sunrise and<br />

I like how it could be open to interpretation or simply<br />

seen as a geometric design.<br />

It was great to experiment with Anchor Tapisserie<br />

Wool, which I haven’t used before. I don’t normally work<br />

with such a bright colour palette so it was fun to push<br />

myself out of my comfort zone with the colours I chose.<br />

This is the first time I’ve used an Anchor product – the<br />

tapestry wool worked really well. I was worried that<br />

the skeins would disappear rather quickly but they<br />

went quite far.<br />
