What was your inspiration?

This cushion was a wedding gift for my brother and his new wife. I chose the Eden project, St Austell, Cornwall UK as the theme as this is where they got engaged.

What are you most proud of?

The Montbretia flowers, it took about 3 hours of work to make each of the larger flowers, it was time consuming but great fun and I enjoyed interpreting the photos that I had.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Leave PLENTY of time, the whole thing took me about 3 weeks.
