Coverlet Pillows

                                               Happy Monday friends!

 

Well since we had our first snow yesterday,

it has put me in more of a Christmas mood.

A few years back I had purchased a piece

of an antique coverlet piece and made this stocking. 

                                                      

I had a bit left of it, so decided

to make a few pillows a few months back.

I once again used the letters from one 

of my antique samplers.

The holly leaf was made from wool

with rusty bells for holly berries.

The back.

you can see where some of the coverlet

 had wear in it.

I was able to create two.

One saying Comfort and Joy

while the other read Sleigh Bells Ring.

Both are already sold.

I was left with a tiny piece,

so I created one for myself

which I finished at the store  yesterday.

This time I used a rusty holly leaf

with more rusty bells.

You can see my stitches around 

the cross stitch material.

Also decided to make this one more prim like.

The stores were dead yesterday.

I don't blame anyone for not wanting

to come out.

Heck I would have stayed home myself.

We had rain, snow and a mix all day.

Bob and I di close the stores early.

Do you find yourself creating more

during inclement weather like I did?

After I finished this wee pillow,

I worked on a few hearts.

Right after Christmas at the store,

we change out to our Winter/Valentine theme.

Already have my theme of red and black for this.

Coverlet Pillow Blessings To All!
