Every morning and evening I go through the palaver of removing and replacing cushions on our bed, every bed in the house has a cushion arrangement!

It always seems a shame to throw them on the floor each evening and then there’s the huffing and puffing when my husband tries to replace them in the morning but gets it hopelessly wrong.

Do you fiddle and faff with cushions or could you not give a flying fig?

Pictures please.

I made this cushion last year. It won a prize in the village show. It's quite a topical theme just lately...

Congratulations! It deserved a prize!

Late to the party as usual!
I hate cushions on the bed especially in a hotel. Who knows when they were last cleaned. I turf them off straight away and hope the pillow hasn’t been contaminated 😱😂.
Cushions on sofas & chairs are another thing. I have loads in order to prop me up as I loll. The squab on my blue sofa is so deep (& I am vertically challenged) I’m likely to disappear. They have to be soft and squishy.

I made this patchwork cushion from my husband's ties when he died.

Love this cushion.

Thank you both. I just did not know what to do with all the ties - some of which were gifts from me - no-one seems to wear them much now. But there they all are now in my living room!

That is a lovely idea. I still have my late husband's ties and have been trying to think of a project to make use of them. There are enough to make several memory cushions. Thank you.

It would be lovely to see what you make Twopence.
