All is Calm


When we bought a couch for the family room at least 5 years ago, I wanted a basic fabric so that I could accent it with quilted pillows.

Now 5+ years later, meet the first quilted pillow.



Not sure why it took me so long!  I had so much fun putting this together and just love the way it looks.  The inspiration for the pillow and the pattern for the embroidary was found here.

My pillow is my entry for the Mini's and More parade at Sherri's @ A Quilting Life and Michelle @ Island Life Quilts.  I'll also be linking up Main Crush Monday's, Sew Cute Tuesdays,  Freemotion by the River,   WIP Wednesday's,  Let's Bee SocialMidweek Makers.  Fabric Frenzy FridayFinish it Up Friday and Finished or Not Friday.   

Have a wonderful day! Patty

  3. Pretty pillow! Love the touch that the hand embroidery gives it! I have trouble sewing for myself.....After a whirlwind of Christmas sewing, January will be the Sew for Me month. Maybe I'll even make a pillow! :)
