My Pillow Talk Swap 4, pillow is on its way to its new home. This is my first Pillow Talk swap and I love it as it took me out of my usual.
The front was all hand pieced and actually for a quilt, as the back is done the same time as the front.
You'll have to excuse the crappy pictures as my battery charger still is lost and Ive ordered a new one and preying it comes before christmas!
After the front was done I reinforced the top with machine stitches running down each line as I was worried about wear and tear. I then added boarders and the back.
I made a free motion tag to go on the back. My partner liked earthy tones but also loved linen with colour, I really loved how it turned out.
A bit of running stitch added some interest.
And from the scrap's I made a mug rug as an extra.
and had a go at some thread sketching, I really enjoyed it and I'm sure you'll be seeing more.
Well christmas is upon us and this is the last week of school so I'm trying hard to finish my handmade gifts, add in that tomorrow is my No. 3 's birthday and last day of kinder for the year and I have to back a cake to take as well as the hot food for the party they are having and I'm in get organised mode too.
I'm attempting to make this cake today wish me luck!
Wow, that pillow is gorgeous!! Good for you for having time to do a swap so close to Christmas ... and a birthday!
