Completed Pillow

Mon, 2009-04-20 11:38 — GCantrell

I just completed this pillow. It was supposed to be a present for a friend of mine who's getting married, but I'm not sure it's good enough for a present. It was my first real attempt at seaming and I'm afraid I didn't do a good job.

I like the pillow. The tassels look great too. What did you fill the pillow with? And did you line the pillow with anything? Just curious because I just might start making a pillow (I am getting rather tired of always making scarves!).

I didn't line it with anything. I used a pillow form from Hobby Lobby. It was fun. If I had to do it again, I would have knitted it in the round so I wouldn't have to worry about so many seams.

Great job there! Love the design, and the stitching is beautifully done. Must've taken some real concentration to follow that all through. That would make a wonderful gift.

Keep it lite and happy!

Are you kidding? Looks great. Give it to them early and save them the cost of a ring-bearer's pillow!
