I've made several banners this week. While I do enjoy the finished products, sometimes the process is like eating vegetables. I love vegetables, but if you were to offer me some carrots or a chocolate chip cookie I can guarantee you I'd take the cookie.
So my vegetables for the week included a *celebrate* banner,
a *welcome* banner, and a Happy Birthday banner. Sorry no pic of the HB banner!
All the banners turned out lovely in my opinion, but none of them come close to my new creation.
I saw this pillow on Cluck.Cluck.Sew last week. I knew I needed to have it, so I pushed it to the top of my Sewing To Do List. It is my new favorite pillow. It was very simple to prep, and sewing wasn't too bad. Of course, I did a zipper closure on the back, and I added a rhinestone button as the center of my flower. The fabric under the felt is a Michael Miller print, Mod Boxes.
The back is an Henry Alexander print called Zinnia. I can't find it online at the moment. Sorry.
Now I need to figure out what's going to get crossed off my list next....

Oh my goodness!!! What more can I say? I will need one immediately upon arriving at my new house. Great use of the rhinestone button :)
P.S. Did you finally get to keep some banners for yourself? I'm curious.
Oh man that pillow is beautiful. Did you use regular felt or wool?? I really need to start making pillows. I should just take the plunge and do it.
Gorgeous pillow! and thanks for the help with the HB banner! I'll have to send you a picture once i hang it up in utah. looks so cute!
