I’ve made special little Valentine’s day gifts this year for my girls. The finished versions are sweet little doll crib pillows. I spent a fun day and a half with my needle and thread. The embroidery pattern was a freebie from the wonderful artist Gretchen at her blog boulieblog.wordpress.com. She has a few other wonderful freebies just waiting to be used as well as links to her work on etsy et al.
The best part was I had perfectly matching fabric for the ruffle and back of the pillows. My wonderful Krista gave me an envelope of random fabric a few years ago. These peices started as fat quarters and were half gone so I must have used some of it elsewhere. But there was just enough left and the colors couldn’t have been a better match. When I get myself together enough I’ll snap a picture of the finished product and share that too.
I’m so glad the fabric came in handy. In fact, I have another nice BIG piece to give you. This one may be tricky, its rather slippery, but has nice butterflies on it.
