in stitches & seams ( hi! You are here )
be sure to stop by and see what makes them all smile with their leaves.
Scattered Leaves |
Well I decided to play with the leaf templates I have from one of my patterns for a fall banner/garden flag, called Changing Seasons. As I played with my 12 1/2" block I thought it would be nice to have a pillow for the season too.
And to dress it up some I added a ruffle to the border .Finished size is 16" square. My first pillow in a long time. I just might have to make a few more now as it went together fairly quick, and was fun to make.
Changing Seasons Banner |
I have also made up the banner and will have a copy of the pattern as my give away for this hop, I'll include a fat quarter or two as well. Just leave a comment, and follow if you like. You can enter until midnight on the 10 of October for the give away.
I have a pile of leavs in my living room! |
