Hello, happy Tuesday to you all!
Last night I finished a new hexie pillow. I love it so very much. ♥♥♥

Oh, for the record, I didn't just whip it up in one or two nights. I've been taking my time, enjoying all the little stitches, and working on this pillow very slowly over the last few weeks while watching TV after the kids go to bed. Yes, night time is definitely my epp time :)
I must admit, every time I epp I'm sort of obsessed with staring at the wrong side of my project. To me the wrong side shows a lot better how much hard work and stitching went into joining all the little pieces.
I machine quilted both the pillow top as well as the backing using tiny cross hatch pattern. (I also attached fusible fleece to both parts)
I went with button closure instead of my usual zipper for the backing, and I'm loving the results.
I like how it adds just another extra touch of "pretty" to the pillow. Plus, I had these perfect gray and green polka dotty buttons begging to be used :)
Finished size of the pillow is approximately 21" x 20".
Thanks for stopping by. Svetlana

Oh Svetlana, this is GORGEOUS!!! If only I could stay awake at night long enough to get some stitching done..... :-) Time well spent!!!
ReplyDeleteAww, this is really beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteso lovely, Svetlana .. love the backing too - nice touch with a very different colors of button ... well done !!
ReplyDeleteLovely, really lovely.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty pretty pillow! I like looking at the back of small patchwork toe :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love that backing fabric. I have a bag made witty it
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!! Love seeing the back side and your button closure is a sweet touch. What size are your hexies? I am hoping to try a small hexie project next year - a pillow would be good I think!
ReplyDeletethis is just so pretty, I love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and calm x
ReplyDeleteI love it too!!
ReplyDeleteIt's very pretty. And I have to say, I love EPP in front of the TV at night, especially in the winter.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You certainly do have to see the back to appreciate the effort.
ReplyDeleteI know the fabrics are so pretty, but I'm admiring your hand stitches and your machine stitches. Does that make me a major geek?
ReplyDeleteThis pillow is so incredibly beautiful Svetlana! I love the quilting and the button closure too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours, and love the quilting!
ReplyDeleteYou really are the pillow queen! This is scrumptious! And I love the backing fabric too. Jxo
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! And fusible fleece...what a great idea for pillows!
ReplyDeletevery very pretty :-)
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous pillow Svetlana. I love the back just as much as the front.
ReplyDeletebeautiful. I love EPP too and really appreciate all your work.
ReplyDeleteSvetlanko, je nadherny!!! Opravdu moc krasne vysel!! :)
ReplyDeletePosilam pozdraveni :) Jola
It's just fantastic! I love the body that the fusible fleece gives. So many many touches of "pretty" and that button is the perfect finish.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the back is just adorable! What a cute button enclosure. And I love the striped binding!
ReplyDeleteHow did your party for your son's birthday go? Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving!
so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteWow. Sweet. I love the back of EPP, too. Yours is really great. Those buttons are adorable.
ReplyDeletebeautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow, that back IS pretty. Love that piping/binding around the pillow on at the back. Congrats! Another gorgeous epp.
ReplyDeleteEverything about your pillow is fantastic! I am especially intrigued that your background is actually hexies also. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThe loveliest cushion-back! Deeply envious of it as I am I'm also inspired! I'd been working on a cushion with mini hexy flowers but appliquéd and it just wasn't doing the trick. Reckon some neutral hexies inbetween might be the solution! Thanks for the inspiration and bloody well done you! X
ReplyDeleteI thought you had appliqued them on there, whoa the grey is all epp. Impressed. Darling.
ReplyDeleteGirl, one word ........ ASTONISHING!!!!!!!! You out did yourself!! If I could only sew this nice!!
