Here is office pillow #2! When I first met Amy this fall, we visited a fabric shop together and I saw Anna Maria Horner's Sketchbook Home Dec material in person and really loved it. I didn't buy any but said that I was thinking it might make a nice pillow cover for our office. At the time, the office room was still in the middle of the messy part of the renovation, not the decorating part. Wouldn't you know that she remembered that conversation and gave me a yard of this beautiful fabric for my birthday in November?
I've been anxious to make the pillow but other projects took precedence till now. I made a 20" pillow cover with an invisible zipper (my second ever, I might add). The front is fussy cut to more or less center the bird. I quilted the circle and the one branch the reaches over the circle from the right.
I also added some embellishments here and there, mainly in the form of matching French knots. I back stitched a vein on one leaf in the upper left corner. These are details that you don't notice at all unless you look for them, but they make me happy.
The bench is looking cheerier!
Beautiful! I love both of the pillows, and that bench is so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt IS beautiful, and it looks like some very fancy appliqueing going on! Great job!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely! Great job.
ReplyDeleteI love it!! and I really love the bench and all that nice storage space!
ReplyDeleteYou found time - good for you! I like this print too.
ReplyDeleteYour really good at this pillow thing! Love that one too!
ReplyDeleteI love that fabric, too. I made myself a sun hat out of it, but messed up the sizing, so it was too small - boohoo! Mine was also given to me by a friend on my b'day - so cool! The bench is looking even more gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great space and such a lovely pillow!
ReplyDeletethat fabric is one of my favorites. I adhered it to a lampshade in my sewing room and added orange ball fringe.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous. Just like yesterday's pillow.
ReplyDeleteThe other queen and I have been thinking we need to make pillows for our homes also. You are so inspiring, Amy!
Swoon!!! Love this pillow! You are so talented! Lovin the bench too!
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is adorable and so is the pillow! The bench looks so inviting!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, your perfect details just make this lovely pillow! It is beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really cool pillow. I love the quirky yet elegant fabric.
ReplyDeleteThat bench looks so cozy with those pretty pillows!
ReplyDeleteI love this pillow. Really you can't go wrong with Anna Maria Horner fabric in my opinion. I've always wondered about her home dec. collection but since I can't just walk into a fabric store where I live and everything I purchase is on-line, I've never been brave enough to spot the money and see. This brightens up your office space nicely.
ReplyDeleteLove the pillow! I used the same fabric to make a couple of throw pillows for my bedroom. :)
ReplyDeleteYou used yours too! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteOk...enough gushing over you, OF COURSE you are AWESOME...let's talk about that AMAZINGLY talented husband of yours...LOVE the bench!! Can't wait to see the table!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, have I mentioned that I might be packing up and moving in with you? HA!
