Friday Finish - Blackwork Sampler Pillow

The Blackwork Sampler that I finished stitching as part of my Summer One Thread a Week Challenge is now a pillow. 



The backing fabric came from my stash and I think it is perfect for this pillow.  I made an envelope so that it can be removed if it ever needs to be washed.




I bought the pillow form at the local fabric/craft store.



I'm happy that this is finished and am pleased with the result.

Oh, Pamela. That is just BEAUTIFUL!
I never manage to get my head around Blackwor,k and dread to think of all the problems I would have to fit the geometric pattern into a Dresden Plate design with its slanted and curved outlines.
I also love the border - the jigsaw puzzle lines make my eyes go in and out of focus!

Your pillow is lovely! I particularly like the use of the Dresden Plate design to allow for display of many blackwork designs. So nice!

Very very nice.😆
Congratulationsfor the completion.
I really liked all the designs. It's so wonderful to turn into petals and make them into a single flower.
The choice of lining is perfect and I think the envelope style is a good idea.🙌
