So here goes!! I have always loved the look of fabric yo yos and I love working with linen. I had picked up some heavy weight linen on a trip to Seattle and came up with this. I handstitched three yo-yos along with 2 flat circles. Then I stitched around the applique with embroidery thread. I didn't make the cover removable out of sheer laziness...or maybe I was just eager to get it done! I used Anna Maria Horner's technique for "super circles" found here. It is a really easy technique that doesn't require basting around the circle...I show anybody who cares to listen. I also used the same technique for Quinn's quilt. Thank you, Stitched in Color for throwing such a great party!
The pillow resides in our bedroom.
Pillow fiiiight :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! I wish I would have tried circles, I'm still too scared. But they are lovely. Ok, goota go try :)
Thank you Diana! you will do just fine! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks like such a pretty pillow! I think the colors would show off so much better if you photographed it in natural light, without the flash on your camera. Just a suggestion and how you don't mind =). Thanks for joining in the party!!
ReplyDeleteNo worries! I was not very happy with the picture...the detail and texture of the linen doesn't show up very well. I will try again for sure!
