Winter cushion

I decided to start another needlepoint cushion, so dug out the canvas and wool (deliberately ignoring the stack of half finished projects in the corner ...).  The design's based on a few things - some lovely lettering in Waitrose adverts, a 'Winter' logo on a shower bottle and some pretty vintage teacups of mine. 

 The 'Winter' logo was duly peeled off its bottle and stuck in a notepad.  I like the pink background and the little white snowflakes on the lettering.  The words 'Bake' and 'Treat' came from the Waitrose advert - liked the chunky font and the patterns and colours of the letters. 
 
I'm making a long, narrow cushion, and was working out the shape of the letters as I went along.  The 'W' and 'N' aren't too brilliant, but the other shapes came out quite well.  I think the background's going to be made up of vertical stripes, but not entirely sure about that yet.  We'll see how it goes ...
