This is my kind of quilting.....sloppy! No need for detail sewing. These hearts have a raw edge that you top stitch.
A few years ago, my mother in law (her name is Kathy) helped me make a sunflower wall hanging using this method. I thought it would be fun to try with hearts.
I didn't intend to make pillows, but as I was piecing them together the idea came to me.
I had a ton of pink dyed and coffee stained filters left from my last project, so I used them with the fabric. I love their texture!
My topstitching was NOT 100% accurate, but that's alright! Don't cringe Kathy! One day I'm going to spotlight her quilts. They are AMAZING!
I added a little tulle. Is that how you spell it? Why oh why does blogger not have spellcheck?
Here's how you do it...if you want to try.
Sew them back together.
I sewed and stuffed this pillow and sewed the extra two onto linen and put them into an old frame.
Good sewing skills are not required! :)
Adorable heart! I really, truly love it :D
ReplyDeleteI have no sewing skills, but think I might try some hand sewing -- I'll start with small hearts and see how tht goes. Your heart pillows are adorable and I like that they are mismatched -- shabby and adorable. Blessings :) Tammy
ReplyDeleteLove them! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job. I may have to try it myself. Love, MIL (Kathy)
ReplyDeletePretty!! I received a sewing machine from my MIL and still have not used it.. I think I need to pull it out of the closet and make these :)
