I felt a bit sorry for this little one. It didn’t quite get the post it deserved. So I’m back!
Must admit I was a teensy bit daunted by this design at first and at one point I thought I’d never get it done! There seemed to be a never ending process of steps – cutting then sewing, cutting then sewing, some more cutting then some more sewing and so on!!
Then there was a bit of a mix up with my fabric order so I was sat in the cold, dark, back room (oh poor me!) sewing this on Christmas Eve. Iām quite proud of myself for sticking with it. That was not how I pictured the night before Christmas and sewing against the clock is never clever!!
Buuuut in the end I got there and this is the result……
And a close up………
I’m sorry if I make it sound a bit of a drag, because in all honestly it really wasn’t. The whole process was actually quite relaxing and those appliqued petals are just the most satisfying thing to make…..EVER. I am already thinking of more ways to use this technique…..I just love the effect and texture you get once they’re attached.

This is beautiful!
Well done for sticking with it, on Christmas Eve , too !! Love the hand quilting š

Gorgeous! Well done for finishing on time. I must admit I find working with curves a little daunting as i can not get them to look as rounded as I would like.
I love the hand quilting on this pillow. Really gives that finishing touch š
