Well, I am on a roll. Relatively speaking, of course. I have a couple more personalized cushions made (the blue one is just a prop):
The colours don't seem quite right on my pictures. The red and light blue are a bit more muted than they appear.
For this one I was running out of time for embroidery or appliqué, so I just drew the name and went back and forth, free-motion. Too easy! I did remove the lint before we gave it away...
And here's another one, embroidered by hand and improve-pieced:
The backing is a vintage sheet I adore, and the opening is closed with a velcro.
I love making those. So satisfying!
You know what else is satisfying? I started cleaning up my sewing room, and actually found stuff that had been MIA for months... like 4 seam rippers, an empty bobbin, embroidery scissors...
Linking up to TGIFF at Quilt Matters.
Happy November, everyone!
Nice. I hear you on the clean up. I'm trying to do some as well since I'm constantly looking for something.
ReplyDeleteI love the personalize pillows, what a great gift. I should clean up a bit I am down to one seam ripper...oh no!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love it when you find things that have been MIA. My sewing room's a disaster at the moment and I know there are some MIAs around somewhere. Great pillows, Dom! I like that idea of free motion quilting the names -- genius!
