......I mean , the fifth Wow !! I completed the fifth cushion yesterday :)
I used 4 mm hook . The light green yarn is Sirdar Cotton DK and the red one is Wendy Supreme Luxury Cotton DK .
The stitch pattern is called as 'Twilight' and is from the book 'Crochet Stitches Visual Encyclopedia' by Robyn Chachula .
I have one query, has anyone ever used ultrasonic devices for pigeons? If so , do share your reviews . I am having lot of problem with these birds . We got temporary nylon bird gaurd mesh installed in the bedroom balcony and I shifted all the veggie plants there but I don't want the front balcony covered .
My cherry tomatoes are growing but only one has turned red so far, others aren't in a mood for the show time . Spinach has given me 4-5 times good harvest so far .
I have 6 pots of cherry tomato plants like these and all are at the same stage
Life is going on very busy , will share a picture of all five cushions together in next post and some cross stitch too , now that the recipient has acknowledged and loved my gift .
Have a great week !

Another great cushion finish.
ReplyDeleteLike Kim, good luck with the pigeon issue...
Yeah, the fifth cushion.
ReplyDeletePreeti, pillows we like! I look forward to all 5 photos :-)
ReplyDeleteI have no experience with pigeons. They are not. I understand you, although it's a living thing, but doing poorly.
Enjoy a nice day!
It's beautiful Preeti a lovely stitch, sorry I can't help with the pigeons I haven't tried a ultrasonic device but thought about one for the neighbours cats. I hope your tomatoes ripen! have a great week. :) xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cushion Preeti. I like the color combo. Sorry no idea about the pigeon issues. waiting to see all the cushions.
ReplyDeletePreeti: Love the cushion, so bright and pretty.
ReplyDeleteI do not know if you can find a plastic owl, I hear pigeons do not like them, maybe two will help and move them every other day.

Excellent stitching and colour scheme and I hope your tomatoes ripen soon. Good luck with the pigeons, that's not an issue we have here.
ReplyDeleteLove the colours in your pillow - really pretty. Crochet is something I do very badly, so I admire it when done so well. Can't help with the pigeons I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteThat is another beautiful pillow! You have quite the lovely collection.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitch. Can't wait to see all of them together!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on another great cushion finish. Looking forward seeing them all together, so colorful:)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty, bright, pillow, Preeti :) We don't have pigeon issues here so I'm afraid I'm no help--our pests are deer and squirrels!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely cushion! Good luck dealing with the pigeons.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely cushion! Good luck dealing with the pigeons.
ReplyDeletePreeti, I love admiring your wonderful work! I hope you can find a way to encourage the pigeons to fly away from your balcony! xx
ReplyDeleteLovely crochet on the cushion cover! Me too have pigeon issue.. They spoil all the tender plants and spread crap in all the pots :(
ReplyDeleteA beautiful pillow again! Good luck with balcony gardening!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty cushion, Preeti! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cushion Preeti !!! Waiting to see them all together :))
ReplyDeleteNice pattern. You are on a roll. Back in the days of old before cows came alone, pigeon poop was highly prized for fertilizer. Now we consider them pests. My husband had a problem in his warehouse some time back and had heard about the ultrasonic devices. Not sure if he ever got one. But can't hurt to try. They definitely don't like to leave their area of roosting and nesting. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHi Preeti! Yes, this is a WOW! 5th pillow? Great! I love this stitch, and the color combination.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea about ultrasonic pigeon devices though... sorry.
Cherry tomatoes seem waiting for a better moment to start ripening, just let them do so :)))
its very very pretty !
ReplyDeleteYour cushion is pretty and I love the stitch pattern! Hope you figure out a solution for the pigeon problem. We seem to have a problem with crows - they are very loud. Your tomatoes look healthy - seems like they usually ripen all at once. : )
ReplyDeleteLovely cushion Preeti. I don't know about pigeons but my daughter has an ultrasonic thingy to deter mice and it seems to work
ReplyDeleteNice color combo Preeti. If you are in fb, you can put the query into "organic terrace gardening" group. I am sure someone might have solution to your problem.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on such a lovely finish. I haven't heard of the ultrasonic device for pigeons. However, they do cause trouble to my plants here. Here in Kuwait we can keep plants in balcony only for a few months , and then the pigeons come and sit and nib on plants..Imagine my anger..lol
ReplyDeleteWow, 5 cushions already! Nice pattern & color combination :-). Super, Preeti!
ReplyDeletewow...thats a lovely cushion Preeti..hmmm..i don't have an experience about ultrasonic device for pegions. i have heard one of my friends daughter used some ultrasonic mobile app to get rid off mice in her hostel room...i felt funny when i heard that first..people say that works. I have seen people using noisy chimes on the balcony to scare the pegions...i haven't tried but.
ReplyDeleteThe cushion is lovely.People in my area rear pigeons, not trying to get rid of them so I have no idea about this device.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cushion Preeti.
