Wedding Pillow #2

Last month I made a wedding pillow for my nephew and his bride.  You can see the pillow in this post.  After listing that pillow option in my Etsy store I got an inquiry for one in brown.  After much discussion, the customer wanted either a velvet or suede fabric instead of cotton or denim in a chocolate lighter than a Hershey bar.  I went to the store to see what I could find and found out the hard way that it is difficult to photograph brown fabric.  Anyway,  I sent her photos of the "brown" options and she picked this very cool stamped suede.

I think this turned out fabulous.  It would have taken me a while to try sewing with this kind of fabric on my own so I am glad I got the request.  Thanks for stopping by!  TGIF

Mr. & Mrs. Pillow

Made this Mr. & Mrs. Pillow for my nephew who is getting married this weekend.  

I used a plain denim and a primitive folk cotton fabric for appliqué.  I actually made this 2x before I got it right.  

I fell in love with this design when one of my embroidery friends shared a picture of a pillow she made.  I suspect this will now be my go to gift for weddings and anniversaries and I might just have to add it to my Etsy store.  Thanks for stopping by!
