So, I turned my little embroidered pieces from yesterday's post into a pillow. (Be sure to sign up for the book giveaway if you haven't yet.) I had plans for a zip pouch, but the pieces were a little big for that. Turns out they work nicely on a 20" pillow cover. Sometimes my projects take on a mind of their own. (That never happens to you, right?) Turns out I really like it as a pillow.
It looks pretty good on my daughter's bed, but I have plans to send it off to a friend. My husband was relieved. He seems to think that a bed full of pillows is a little much for my daughter. I say, what's the problem with her sleeping at the end of the bed? ;)
There are a few little things I'd change if I made this project again, but I'm not going to pick it apart. Literally OR figuratively. Ha!
Now it's your turn! Please link up your finishes for the week. Happy Friday to you!
Super cute! I love how embroidery is adaptable like that. Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThat pillow turned out super cute! Nice work.
ReplyDeleteAs a owner of 3 black cats, I couldn't give it away! Beautiful project for a girl's room.
ReplyDeleteIt looks perfect on your daughter's bed! Great job on the embroidery!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to re-visit the world of embroidery with that new book.
ReplyDeleteYour kitty is so cute.
Thanks for a chance to win
Lovely hand work. Thank u for Finish it up Friday...You have encouraged me on:)
ReplyDeleteyou can ever have too many pillows! its adorable:)
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful! Love the little cat.
ReplyDeleteI love embroidery and quilting together. Your pillow encouraged me to dig out the blocks for a Bareroots Sweet Dreams Angel quilt which I have not completed for my granddaughter who will be 4 this year. But pillows are looking like a great alternative. Thanks for the inspiration as always.
ReplyDeleteLove the kitty song and the pillow is sew cute.

Awesome! My husband loved your pillow! Not that he is a crafty type but is a huge BBT fan! Lovely embroidery too!
ReplyDeleteLove the pillow -- thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSO super cute! Do your talents have no end?
ReplyDeletefun project. ;) great gift too!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have many pillows around here. A few nights ago, I stayed in a friend's house and the bed that I was using had 6 pillows. I didn't know which one to use for sleep,so I used the one that's simple covered with linen cover. The kitty pillow looks so cute!! :) I don't have any sewing project finish this week, but I pass my citizenship test, interview and oath in became an American Citizen on Tuesday morning. :) Happy Weekending~
ReplyDeleteSew sweet! What a nice friend for being willing to gift this!
ReplyDeleteBig Bang Theory is about the only show that makes me literally LOL. Love that show and your Kitty pillow. I have linked up with a big finish for me.
ReplyDeleteLove your pillow, it looks awesome! We are fans of the big bang theory at our house, too.
ReplyDeleteLove your pillow, it looks awesome! We are fans of the big bang theory at our house, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love it!! Great idea to put it on a pillow. Wonderful job :)
ReplyDeleteYou're so inspiring!!
Your pillow is so cute! I'm always getting that song stuck in my head. My husband thinks there is such a thing as too many pillows too. So silly! ;)
ReplyDeletelove it...super cute and who can resist singing the song after looking at such a cute pillow?
ReplyDeleteWhat a simple and sweet pillow. After seeing Yesterday's post about the "S is for Stitch" book I decided to buy it. I love that there are original and dedicated embroideries for girls/boys and some really neat framed pieces to make - like the tutu colors. Thanks for the link-up party once again this Friday. I always love linking and seeing what everyone else is working on!
ReplyDeleteOMG, I'm now an even bigger fan of yours! LOVE Big Bang Theory, and I really would rather sew than watch TV. It's one of the few shows I watch! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda bummed that that pillow won't be on the bed when I sleep there in July...
ReplyDeleteI lost a good friend to breast cancer at the end of January. She loved Big Bang and soft kitty. Some of her gifts she gave this Christmas were soft kitty presents!! Whenever I hear this I smile and think of her
ReplyDeleteI used to be a fiend for counted cross stitch, but set it aside years ago. I've dabbled in embroidery lately and would love to improve my neatness and stitch repertoire!
ReplyDeleteThe pillow is adorable... just the perfect setting for the embroidered blocks.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for hosting the link party again this week. I love seeing everyone's finishes. It inspires me to get my own projects finished.
When I read the blog title, I immediately started to sing soft kitty from the Big Bang Theory. LOL!
ReplyDeletelove the way the pillow turned out

LOL, we sing Soft Kitty in our house too. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt on your daughters bed... you can never have too many cushions, can you?
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute pillow. I sing Soft Kitty all the time!!
ReplyDeleteSheldon would be so proud.
ReplyDeleteThat pillow does look adorable on your daughter's bed. She could definitely sleep on the end. Love the spots!
ReplyDeleteI had a giggle when I read Camille's comment about Sheldon being so proud (as long as the cushion wasn't in his 'spot'!)! I love polka dots and love your cushion.
ReplyDeleteThis pillow made me smile :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously coveting that pillow...too cute!!
ReplyDelete*love* Big Bang Theory. What a fantastic idea! Super cute.
ReplyDeleteOh My Giddy Aunt, I LOVE THAT PILLOW!!!! I might take up embroidery just so that I can copy you. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the pillow idea.
ReplyDeleteThe embroidered kitty is so cute! Envelope Pillows always look great and are fun to make.
ReplyDelete~Judy
That is so cute! Mind if I copy you a bit for my daughter's birthday gift? She's loving big bang theory lately...and just got a kitten!
ReplyDelete...so, what could be more perfect?
So sweet and adorable!
ReplyDeleteThat is fab, I was very inspired by your embroidery that I got my own kit out at the weekend to start on a small patch, that funnily enough will go onto a quilt or cushion.
ReplyDeleteQuite cute, but I won't be able to look at your blog for awhile until this post drops down the post queue a bit. Every time I see soft kitty here the song gets stuck in my head for the entire day.
ReplyDeletei just found your blog, may i just say how happy i am that there is a fellow 'big bang theory' girl out there that also loves to sew!!
ReplyDeletei'm also in love with your pillow!
"I say, what's the problem with her sleeping at the end of the bed? ;)" LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet pillow. I'd love to win a copy of the book and make some of my own.
ReplyDeleteWould love a chance at winning this beautiful book.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Genius. Love it.
