The resposible item being this....
gorgeous, gorgeous cushion found on Pinterest...(which wouldn't direct me to the original source of the cushion)
EDIT - the very kind Patchwork Heart and Happy Elastic have let me know that the gorgeous cushion is the wonderful work of Cluck Cluck Sew, thank you very much indeed ladies!
a great way to use up small scraps if you have any...I chose browns, beiges and neutrals, with just a hint of bling....
a paper template was made for leaves and the trunk, then cut out fromm fabric and placed onto the backing fabric (which was a never to be worn pair of linen shorts - shame to waste the fabric though...)
I attached with iron on fusing purely for lazy purposes it has to be said, but it worked rather well!
an old pink and gold NEXT frame got a second wind...ripped out the pink bits inside, made a couple of new mounts and had a go with adding an 'Autumn' word made using wire...first time I've tried this..
now just has to find a home in the living room...
and the answer to the title...is when you make an almighty balls up and it becomes a frame by necessity!! (not enough fabric in the shorts for a bigger bit of backing fabric..!!)
Have a great week all,

Never mind about the cushion, the framed piece is stunning.

You can search Google by image if you go to images.google.com and click on the small blue camera at the end of the search box. There is space there to either upload a copy of the pic from your computer or copy in the url address of the picture. Then it comes up with other sites where that picture can be found. Thought it might come in handy for future reference as I found the same on Pinterest that some things weren't linked back correctly.
I love your version of the tree applique!
Wow that looks really good. I love the colours you have used.

This is such a great autumn picture! I love the wire word too, it really finishes it off perfectly.
