This pillow is 100% inspired by two amazing ladies, Sarah Fielke and Mary (Molly Flanders). I adore Sarah's new book Quilting from little things and this pillow is a mix of these two projects from her book.
I've been eyeing these quilts for quite some time but it wasn't until I saw Mary's amazing version of Whirligig quilt that I finally could not resist and had to give it a try.
I know the slow process of needle turn applique is not for everyone, but I can honestly say I love it and I'm totally smitten with the final result.
I liked this project so much that I even decided to use some of my precious Liberty fabric for the border. I then used some fun Modern Vintage fabric for the back of the pillow, installed a hidden zipper closure and the pillow was finished. Yay!!! It's quite big (20" x 20") and so wonderfully squishy, just like a pillow should be.
I hope you're still with me, because now we're getting to the giveaway part.
Would you like to win this pillow cover? All you need to do is leave a comment on this post, please make sure I have your email address, and you're in. This giveaway is open internationally and will close on Thursday night (27th). I'll announce the winner on Friday morning.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Good luck! Svetlana

ReplyDeleteLove it Svetlana, just beautiful. And how generous of you to give it away (especially with that precious Liberty fabric!) You may have mentioned it before, since I know you make a lot of pillows, but is there a particular tutorial you follow for installing the invisible zipper? I've never tried, but would like to give it a go.
