In your words-Pillow

15/1/2013

A new couch needs new pillows don't you think. I know that we're only LOOKING for a new couch and haven't bought one yet, but I better start sewing some pillows so that they are finished when the couch arrives ;-)

This urge to make pillows was a great reason to join this blog hop. I'm not finished yet, but this is what I came up with.

Inspired by this beauty made by Rachel, I started to draw and cut letters, paper piece music notes and make some embroidery. What do you think?

Love the fabric and the letters. Are you sure you want to make it a pillow? I see it as a wall hanging. But then I'm not much of a pillow person.
