Winter Pillow


When Carrye and I last visited Cabin Arts, I loved this light blue linen with tucks every half inch or so and knew that I wanted to make a winter pillow.  I used Clear 'n Melt to smooth the surface for the embroidery, along with cut-away stabilizer.  Design by Embroidery Library.

I've had the piping fabric in my stash for years, probably got it at WalMart back in my small town days.  It had a block-y snow print and was very stiff with goodness knows what kind of sizing and glitter.  What was I thinking?  A time or two I'd glanced at it and considered throwing it away, but that half yard was perfect for this bias piping.  Does that mean never throw fabric away?
