I hadn’t realised that I would know the charities I would be making cushions for, which means, when I can, I’ll try and make something related to the amazing work they do. Mosaic, in Dorset, support bereaved children and their families. Incredibly important and special work.

I’m going to make a cushion with appliqued hearts and the words “always in our hearts” embroidered through them. I’m hoping it’s not too shmaltzy!

Derek the upholster gave me some very beautiful silk like stripey fabric – I’m off to give it a go!
