Petal Pocket Pillows

 When I happened across this sweet pattern a few weeks ago I knew exactly what I was going to make for two special girls having a birthday.

Nova at A cuppa and a catch up has created a fun pattern to make these gorgeous pillows. Such easy steps to follow and although I didn't do a lot of it by hand as she does I'm still really happy with the outcome.

The pillow is fully lined and combining the fabrics is the most fun. It's almost like making an entire quilt with hand stitched binding and all. The backing is quilted and you can choose to hand quilt the front if you like. She even has a boys version.

The best thing for me is that I used pieces from my stash and scrap bin and even used the old strips of wadding that are always left over after quilting, these were joined perfectly to make for not one but two very snugly and ever so cute Petal Pocket Pillows.

Go on, you know you want to make one!

  4. Oh these are so so cool. Love your combinations of fabrics. Must not be tempted to try one though until I have finished painting.... there are just too many creative distractions. melx
