Pillow Talk




Somewhere during the last month or so, I've gotten the "pillow" bug and have made a bunch of assorted pillows. Here is a sampling: The first is a hand-felted pillow that I started about a year ago and just recently finished. It is made from wool roving in lots of colors on a lavendar background, then decoratively stitched in an irregular grid. Next, two silk velvet pillows, one in purple with decorative stitching, the other in two tones of velvet with some vintage gimp added. The last two are sashiko work. The one in the hemp leaf pattern is already stuffed (thus distorted in the photo, while the one in the waving grasses pattern has yet to be stuffed. It's been a busy day with the camera today.
