Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteCount me in please! I love the colours you've used!
Happy Birthday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors. It would be nice to be a recipient of this pillow. For me though, I live with deep adobe colors of the Southwest U.S.
But, I would love to know the fiber of the pillow. Is it linen with cotton decoration? The closure is exceptional! I love the pintucks. Your design and technique is to the home what comfort food is on a cold day.
Yes, the base fabric is a linen/cotton blend, and the appliqued squares are cotton. The closure is cut from an old pintucked blouse, also linen.
DeleteI love your last sentence.
Thanks.
:-)
such beautiful joy in your work
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Karen....you are so young
