Original design by Rommyna De Leeuw
Rommyna learned the basics of crochet in elementary school, and continued the education in secondary school, where she recognized a love of working with fiber. She finessed her skills by learning diverse art techniques in the signature Workforce Training program in her native country. Rommyna teaches crochet lessons at a Craft Art Store as well as privately and she will have two designs published this year. Reach her at divinebeen@hotmail.com.

I designed this retro-funky cushion when I realized that the pile of square cushions resting on my box full of LP record-albums were feeling the groove too! I entwined the tunes with the yarn to bring a little bit of the style from those glorious vinyl decades to the living room. You can personalize the label on each cushion you make with your favorite album titles. What better to rest upon than a heap LP cushions after dancing to your favorite grooves?
