So long, farewell, aufwiedersehn...

...goodbye to my Modern She Made Swap pillow cover. 

It is now on it way to its new home.  I really hate to see it go but

I hope the recipient loves it as much as I do.

 

 

It took me a while to decide what to quilt in those corners.  In the end I opted for more feathers.  Everything else I sketched just didn't seem to work for me.  Part of me wonders if I

should have just left the space unquilted...maybe next time.

 

For the binding and backing I went with a taupy grey daisy print. I really wanted something with a lack of color so as to not take your eye away from where you should really be looking.  I think a colorful binding would have kept drawing your eyes to edge too much.

 

I also made a few other goodies to send along with the pillow...a little

coin purse, a key chain, and a needle book.

 

 

Thank you to everyone who left comments the last time I posted about this project. 

It took me a long time to decide what to make.  And even once I decided

what to do, I wasn't always sure I was on the right track.

 

It always feels good to receive positive feedback.

 

Thanks again.
