So here’s a project I’ve never done before. A good friend found this embroidery project at a second hand store months. She asked if I could turn it into a pillow.
Here’s how I turned this vintage embroidery project into a pillow cover.
Friends, this is my biggest restock ever. I actually just listed three new pillow covers in my Etsy Shop.
I chuckle. Three covers is not many, but it’s the most I’ve ever listed at once. 😉 I recently finished a quilt that looks exactly like this pillow. It was my inspiration.
If you are looking for a quilt to snuggle or a quilt that’s warm to the touch as soon as you pick it up, this is it.
It’s soft, cozy, fluffy, and warm.
There is only so much time in a day to spend sewing, and I can’t make ALL the quilts my mind dreams up over the course of a day. I’ve been gawking at this Harriot Yarn Died plaid and this Harriot Yarn Died plaid for over a week now, but I haven’t purchased either. Yet I want to buy a yard of each. I’m sure they’d fit into many a perfect project.
I’ve contemplated depleting my vintage sheet stock pile. They’re tricky to sew with. I have to cut around the rough or stained spots. They’re not always easy to find in great condition.
But there’s just something a bit freeing about them.
I have this little blue pouch that I’ve carried around for approximately the last two years. It contains my green thimble, a little pair of Fiskars scissions, Pearle Thread, and hand quilting needles.
Well. I lost it.
This is the first Christmas / winter quilt top I’ve made. Every year when we pull out the Christmas decorations, I wish I had a Christmas quilt to pull out to throw on the couch. My children are still young, and the more special Christmas decor we set out for our home, the better. They love it.
Yes indeed I ordered Christmas fabric. I think it’s beautiful, and I have high hopes of making a Christmas quilt this week.
