this is the perfect example of why i decided to write the Pillow Pop book!!!... to examine if i like a quilt pattern and if i like the process of quilting it in a certain design. yes... yes... they're many other reasons i ALSO like to make pillows for, but truly... YOU will know how you feel very quickly about certain processes and pillow are a great tool to learn with.
I learned that after seeing Ashley's quilt, that not only did i enjoy quilting this pillow in a Herringbone design, but also that i could commit to making it in a bigger project!! I am super excited to pull out a WIP quilt top and start working on quilting it... since "i" feel it turned out exactly as i was hoping it would!! :D
There are so many wonderful example of Quilting designs readily available, that i just know i'll end up with a TON of new pillows or start a QAYG project with random blocks... ( i have the itch! ) that I think this will be a great addition to my winter plans of the Farmer's Wife QAL blocks and a new obsession of mine...
cross stitch!!
I'm currently over the moon with Anna Maria Horner's new book ( Needleworks notebook ), the Frosted Pumpkin's ( Winter Wonderland ) and these cuties that i found on an Etsy shop!!
Do you all have any big plans to get you through Winter weather??...
