Friday Finish - Blackwork Heart Pillow

I really enjoyed this project and loved being able to use up so many pieces of leftover thread. The backing is an upholstery sample.

Friday Finish - Mola Pillow Finish

About 18 years ago, I received this mola panel as a gift from someone who traveled to Panama. I didn’t know what to do with it. 

Finally, I decided to back it and make it into a little pillow.

Friday Finish - Blackwork Pillow

This piece was designed by Elizabeth Almond and is called Da Capo. The pattern can be found in the May 2013 Cross Stitch & Needlework publication. I finished the piece as a pillow, with a 30 cm form. The backing fabric mimics the border of the blackwork pattern.

Friday Finish - Blackwork Rose Pillow

Front and Back with 30x30 cm cushion inside. The blackwork design is an EGA pattern designed by Carol Algie Higgenbotham. I finished the stitching in 2012! About time I finished the piece into this pillow.

Friday Finish - Box of Delights Pillow

I finished stitching this in November 2015. The free patterns are designed by Elizabeth Almond and are still available on the Blackwork Journey website (scroll through to find the individual patterns). 

I made it into a pillow, using 40x40 cm. pillow form. The backing is a beautiful piece of Tilda fabric I received as a gift and was saving for something special.

Monday Morning Star Count - Cushion Finish

I finished the hexagons as a chair cushion, using a 45x45 cm cushion. I made an envelope so that the cover can be removed and cleaned if necessary.

Friday Finish - Snowman Pillow

I finished the stitching on this last September as part of my Summer One Thread a Week Challenge.  I knew I wanted to finish it into a pillow, but I procrastinated. I'm happy it is now finished and am pleased with it. The pillow form can be removed by the flap in the back.
