Matching Pillow!

I had lots of scraps from the layer cake and leftover yardage from the table runners so I decided to make a pillow for the small couch in the office. I really love the birds in Tend the Earth by Deb Strain so I showcased one of the blue birds.

I did my first dresden plate and I love the results.


And on the couch:


My mom bought some more of the brown so I can complete another pillow.  I am trying to decide what I want to do, but I know she wants to showcase the humming bird on the next pillow.

    Yeah, I love those birds, too. That line has tempted me so many times, I'm amazed I've succeeded at resisting! Moving (and thus seeing HOW MANY BOXES AND BOXES of fabrics I have) really helped me gain better purchasing discretion. ;D It made a nice pillow - excellent use of left-overs!
