Welcome to all of my new followers. Wow! I hope you enjoy this space and gain some crafty inspiration here. There's still time to enter my SMS giveaway if you feel interested in doing so.
The latest theme at Le Challenge is "Nature." A flower motif is such an easy response to the theme, but I will say this was definitely a time intensive project with lots of hand sewing. The pillow is 24" square- I bought a brand new 24" pillow form at a yard sale for $1 a while ago and wanted to finally put it to use.
I chose one of my favorite pieces from my stash, a Summersville print to be the background of the pillow - such cozy little houses!
I did a zippered back with a Comma dot to cover the zipper. I always use this tutorial, from Sew Mama Sew, to do a zippered pillow. By using washable 1/4" tape instead of pins, I find installing zippers in these types of projects to be a breeze.
Don't my patchwork pillows look good together? Time to make another I think. (Thanks again to Jen for adding to my collection.) I am loving making pillow lately because they allow me to try out a new technique without committing to a HUGE project. I also finally have the space to enjoy a few decorative pillows in my home- they don't feel like clutter- as they may have in our former home.
Linking up to Le Challenge and Finish it up Friday.
