Pillow

This pillow was one of the first things I made when we moved into the new house- mostly because I was so excited about the fabric, and wanted to use it straight away. The hand-printed linen was included in my goodie-bag (yes, I know- totally spoiled) from The Craft Sessions. The design is 'kangaroo paw', depicting a classic Australian plant, from Ink and Spindle. It really is a very beautiful, heavy textile, and I keep dreaming about having bedroom curtains sewn from it- imagine that. 

I teamed it with blue herringbone linen, navy ticking for the back and cotton tape to fasten around a feather pillow inside. 

And speaking of TCS, there is a new blog post up with lots of in-progress class pictures, including some of my embroidery. You can see them here.

    Thanks for posting the link to the weekend workshop. It’s good to continue to be inspired. The embroidery looks just lovely. My embroidery tends to be very whimsical I think, not really drawn from nature. I shall put some leaves and flowers in my to do list.
