Hi everyone!

I'm so proud of this project of mine. Since my DH purchased my new toy for me, I'm signing up for everything. Quilting, Embroidery, I'm sure you understand where I'm coming from. LOL

This is the pillowtop I've embroidered and quilted in one day. All I have left to do is assemble the back, add the mitered Flange, and Wa-La, pillow cover to put a 16" pillow into. I know I will be making more of these Very Happy

Happy Sewing,
Julie

Julie, this is great!!! Did you embroider, then put the pieces together, or piece first then embroider? Is this done with strips building around the central triangle? This is a neat project, I'd love to do this one, if you could give me the sketchiest of directions. thanks,
Marji

You answerd your own question Marji. We did it exactly that way. It was a Great 1st project. The Embroidery took the longest. It was so intence. The Thread companys probably love designs like this. Lots and Lots of thread. As I stated in the beginning, this is a project I will be doing over and over testing out other designs.

Happy Sewing,
Julie

Thanks, JuliAnn!
I'm glad I guessed right. Boy, I have lots of designs that would be just beautiful in this pillow format, and it would be great to use up scraps of material. You could even make a number of squares and turn them into a quilt!!! Happy, happy, doing the dance of joy. Very Happy
