...the Birthday pillow is finished...
...folding it diagonally to make sure it's perfectly square...
...I got this lovely pillow at the thrift store...it won't need a liner or anything...and it's in perfect condition...
...the back...which I won't be covering is a pale grey linen...
...and it's got this super cute bound jute edging that I also won't be covering up...
...I wasn't super happy with the way the letters turned out...on the diagonals there's a little bit of a missed space with the black...from a distance the letters are recognizable...maybe just because it's such a familiar saying...
...so I just threaded a needle with the black thread and sort of embroidered that little blue space on the diagonals...I also did it on the triangular window and the roof edges...it didn't take long and I like the look of it better...
...and then I just stitched it directly onto the linen pillow front covering up the sunflower...and the Birthday pillow was complete...
...and now I just needed to get it packed up and sent to Alaska...
...remember
those sheets that I'd gotten a couple of months ago at the thrift store...and I'd said that I was going to use the purple one to make some shiny gift bags...
...I just took a pillowcase for a pattern and made a couple of gift bags...
...and used those to wrap the gifties...and of course there's a little something for the grandbabes in the box too...
...and to save space and get the wrapped pillow stuffed into the box...I put it into a plastic bag and vaccuumed all the air out...it worked perfectly...
...what's in your workbasket this week?...
~Have a lovely day!
