Whenever I have a show ahead of me and orders coming out of my ears, my imagination is running wild with new ideas. In my last post I showed you the pillow that I did for a Flickr swap I was in called {Pillow Talk}.
"home sweet home"
I have had a collection of vintage fabrics and laces for quite some time now and could never figure out what to do with them. After that pillow for the swap I am on a roll!
I incorporated the lace into this one. I also have another one that is waiting to be quilted, in blues and greens which I will be keeping for myself! I am calling this one "this old house".
I even did piping and a zipper on this one!!! SO PROUD of myself, under the instruction of my Mom who is a master sewer, although she wont admit it! The below picture shows the piping and the zipper together....quite an accomplishment for me! I always tell people I cant sew straight lines!
It probably is a strange color selection, but I pulled the vintage fabrics first for the house and then added the solids to compliment. One of these house must have an owl in the yard at some point also!
I also have a wall hanging started with this same concept, and I have jewelry pieces in the works with a house theme. It is a real sweat shop in this house right now and I love it!
Have a great weekend!
