IT'S A PILLOW ...

"Briar Rabbit" by La-D-Da, 
is completely finished.
Even though I have envisioned it framed from the start,
I made a decision to make it a decorator pillow 
inspired by a recent design
from Brenda Gervais ~ "Letters for Santa".
I took a chance trying to find the right color of 'ticking fabric'.
It was almost like looking for a needle in a haystack...but I got lucky.
After toning it down with walnut crystals I think I did good.
I used cluny lace trim instead of ric rac with which I am very pleased.

Yaaaa, another finished project and I am HAPPY!

Next pattern I have already begun working on is an 
Antique Needlework Adaptation by
Nan Lewis
Threadwork Primitives 
 
R. M. Martz
The Restoration of my Humble Spirit
entitled
Worke # 4 Ohio Treasure

Not much to look at yet, 
but I am really excited about this sampler
This will not be a pillow, it WILL be framed...

Thanks for visiting ...

  4. What a lovely job you did! I absolutely adore the linen you used for this sweet bunny...it's a great contrast...the white on the darker linen.
    Enjoy your weekend,

  10. Briar Rabbit is so pretty. Framed stitcheries are nice, but so are pillows. All of your work is lovely :)
