This is the 3rd of the large 25" pillows. It's more reddish orange than the other two but together they are all so handsome! It will be such fun to add the embroidery stitches to the seams.
This is a small toss pillow size. I'll do the embroidery on it first and finish it up before I start the other three. One thing I want to try is programming my embroidery machine to do a line of buttonholes for the back opening. I haven't done that yet and it intrigues me!
I used some of the decorator samples I bought a few weeks ago from JoAnns for these tops. A couple of pieces are from that drapery workroom haul too. There is hope that I can sew something almost immediately after getting the supplies!
Won't those checked spaces be great for stitches?
I really like these! When I showed them to Wes, he held his finger to his head like a gun. I think he likes them too!
Have a Creative Day, Y'All!
The pillows will really brighten up the room--they positively scream SPRING!
ReplyDeleteSince they are all fabrics I love, my hope is that I will be motivated to stick with the handwork.
DeleteI can't wait to see these finished! Please show a picture of your sofa with the four pillows, it is going to look grand...
ReplyDeleteThose are really pretty. (Don't take your eye off of them!)
ReplyDeleteI love checks paired with other prints. So much interest. These are so cheerful & happy ! I love them.!
ReplyDeleteThey do look like fun. I particularly like the stripes on the top piece - that will make it easy to stay straight! The birds themselves are so cheerful looking.
