January's Pillow
Done! Finished! FIN!
And a day early, I might add.
I've gotta say, I'm pretty happy with the way it came out (even though it was so extremely far off of what I had originally intended) I think the turning point was when I picked the fabric. It played a crucial role in the overall finished product.
STOP!...Picture Time !
Front Panel [knit with crocheted vines] |
Heavily pinned skeletons. What can I say, I like pins! |
Sewing the Skeleton couple to their final resting place |
Busy at work on the sewing machine |
Front |
Back [ I am completely in love with this fabric ] Buying more & they will become curtains |
El Corazón (The Heart) |
I know Dia De Los Muertos [ Day of the Dead] is celebrated on November 2nd, but if you know anything about me, I love skulls, skeletons and bright colors year round!
Off to work on February's pillow.
Oh yeah! Keep checking back. I think in March [possibly April] I'm going to be giving away one of my pillows in a blog giveaway. Currently working out all the little details.
Until next time, Stay Warm - Stay Safe and Happy Crafting!!
