Burlap Heart Pillow, with a trick for cutting out the burlap

Here is my new pillow design.

I am happy with the way it turned out.  

Burlap can be so messy for me to work with so I tried a new technique:

1-place a template of the shape(heart) you want to cut out on a piece of burlap

2-outline the template with Liquid Stitch 

3-remove the template and let the Liquid Stitch dry completely

4-now you will have an outline of where to cut out the shape, I was able to cut it so easily with out any mess

5-use spray adhesive to attach your shape to the pillow front

6-sew it on with a zig-zag stitch

7-finish your pillow!

Do you have a trick for working with burlap?  Let me know.

Pillow for Valentine's Day Decorating

I made this cute vinyl cut out for a re-purposed cabinet door last year for Valentine's Day.

These days I am just crazy about making pillows, so I made it into a new pillow design.  

I think it would be a cute teacher gift.

This pillow cover is 18X18, hand sewn using an off white cotton fabric.  

I just used acrylic paint in black and red.   

Please share if you make anything like it, I would love to see variations!

I have been busy filling orders for pillows.  Lots of "State Love" hand embroidered pillows and hand painted monogram pillows.
I have a few ideas for new designs and finally had time to create this one.
I call it the Chevron Double Cross Applique Pillow.

Hope you like it.  I might just have to make one for myself because it matches my master bedroom decor perfectly, my hubby even said so!
