Pillow Close up

    Pillow Talk Swap Round 3
    Hexie Madness I tell ya. The front is completely had sewn, then quilted by machine over the top. The background natural colored Hexagons are a 100% natural Judy linen, then mixed with colored linen looks and cotton fabric prints.
    Binding is Kona solid in Coal done by machine as well (lack of time sorry) The closure is an envelope style with 1 inch hexagons trimming the flap. Entire pillow was quilted over warm and natural batting

    Finished pillow size about 17x17 (sorry it worked out that way. (18x18 shown in the photo overstuffed)
    In the mail tomorrow I hope you like it partner this was a challenge, My first paper piecing as well as the first time I have ever bound my own project :)

    These pictures were taken in our apartment clubhouse because we have moving boxes everywhere in our house .

      Hi Terri -

      Can I ask what sort of thread you use with your running stitiches? It is embroidery floss or perle? I'm just curious because I'm tackling some running stitches today and I can't decide what to use! Maybe I should ask missnova. She's a queen of running stitches lately!

      oh and moving boxes! What day are you moving!? You're in so many swaps, are your packages going to get forwarded?

      I'm sorry amy I am probly the wrong person to ask. I just recently got into embroidery this was the 39 cent ones not sure what but I will look tonight for you if need be.

      We are not moving until the end of August so it should be fine. I havnt joined any more swaps for that reason. :)

      oh how I wish we had $.39 skeins of anything here!! I'd popped an email over to { nova } for her advice. It's one of the last things I need to do to finish up my pillow for my partner and I'm a bit under the gun now as our extension slips away!
