Sometimes I work on my desk, but mostly I have to see my work on the floor to know if it’s right or not. I tried a bunch of fabric for the border (even a red velvet, but that was just too much) and wound up using one of the flowered prints that I used in the Kalio Kitty Quilt.
Those square shiny pieces on the circles are buttons. It’s the first time I’ve used buttons in one of these pillows. And there’s a piece of a hankie in the bottom right corner. I think this pillow is sold, but it will be back on my website if it isn’t.
I love how this turned out, but I really enjoy all your applique pillows. And the lace is really lovely.
Thanks Karen, you do beautiful work too.
The scrap colors look nice together. When I look at this pillow, I almost see the phrase, (and a picture of Queen Elizabeth) “Carry On.” Strange, huh?
Well, you made me laugh CS. I guess it was the right choice.
This definitely looks like a Maria Wulf pillow. Thanks so much.
I’m glad you like it Laurel.
I enjoy seeing a creation evolve in your bog posts, but I especially love it when you show the whole floor covered in colorful scraps while you are working on finding just the right combination. Until you hear it go bam!
It’s all part of the process Jane. Nice to hear your comment about it.
