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!
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.🙌
Pamela: What a beautiful pillow and the perfect backing material.
