I'm a bit behind ...


... and I did not meet the deadline, obviously! As of right now, my sister's pillow looks like this:




But I did get a piece of vintage fabric in Chicago last week that I plan to use ... as soon as I can figure out what to embroider on it and find some fabrics to add to it.  Pinterest and I are not great friends, but I think I might just pay her a visit this afternoon ... 



Love you Carrie!!!

TA - DA ! ! !

 
 
 
I finished the pillow (only two days after the intended deadline).

So, after purchasing the pillow form from Zimman's the only other purchase I made for  this project was the pattern transfer pencil!

I hope you like it Erin. 
Do you recognize the floral fabric? 
Shall I hold it hostage until after you catch up?

What is our next challenge?
