"Modern Blooms" Pillow Cover


I just added this 16" pillow cover to my recently neglected shop! The front is made from my silkscreened design, "Modern Blooms" and is handquilted with DMC embroidery floss. It had such a summery feel to it that I decided to back it with "Raspberry Bee Hive" from the Flora and Fauna line.

Here is a little close up of the quilting.

I used another invisible zipper for this pillow (I am now up to four successful invisible zipper attempts!). I feel pretty confident now.

Look at how invisible it is! I have to admit that I am proud of that zipper!

  1. You SHOULD be proud of the zipper, and the gorgeous pillow front! The embroidery is the perfect touch, and beehive is one of my favorite prints.

  2. What a great invisible zip! I have a few that I don't know what I'll use for so maybe I'll practice on some pillows--great idea!

  3. The zipper is amazing! Of course the pillow also, but I'm fascinated about the zipper after my last pillow. I used usual zipper, but still, it's quite challenging for me to sew one.
