I have committed myself to finishing at least one project for my Eons group. The group is called Sewing and Craft corner, its lots of fun with lovely people in the group. So......things did not work out quite as I had anticipated but I did get one heart done. It was not a Valentine project for me but I love hearts so it was a heart project anyway. I ended up doing a small pillow. I did not at first know if it was going to be something I hung on a drawer nob or door. Then I wondered about putting a pocket on the back for potpourri but in the end I just left it plain. I am quite please with the result and I think I want to do a couple more. I did this all by hand. I suppose I could make it go quicker by using my sewing machine. We shall see next time.
I used some silk fabric that I had in a sample book for upholstery (or curtains or something) a very useful thing I picked up at a garage sale. The crochet work is also garage sale finds.
I am going to share this blog for "Pink Saturday" I am glad I thought of it as I am not usually prepared. Woo Hoo I have a pink post. You can join in the fun at

ReplyDeleteI just love it.
Just gorgeous. I love doing hand sewing. There is something so therapeutic about it. The little pillow came together so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI also noticed you want to learn tatting! Me, too. I have even watched some YouTube instructions. The materials are here. The commitment is needed.
Happy Pink Saturday!
I really LOVE this pillow!
ReplyDeleteLOL, you sound like me, I always want to do and learn and end up doing too little. I love the little heart and that crochet i s gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHappy pink Saturday

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Visiting from Warm Heart Bears and The Patchwork Ark for Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Lucky you to have found that lovely crochet at a garage sale! And to have made such a sweet pillow without having to crochet with teeny tiny thread (can't handle that anymore -- I stick to yarn!).
ReplyDeleteDropping by from Pink Saturday!
Just visiting from Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty!!
Good Morning Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness gracious what a gorgeous share. I love, simply love what you did with the doily in recreating it into this heart. Does this say LOVE or what? I love it.
I can't wait to see you next one. I love it just adorning the plate as you shared it.
Many hugs and much love, Sherry
Your pillow is just beautiful!! I absolutely love it. I saw it on Pink Saturday and just had to come. And I'm so glad I did. It looks so intricate and the pink heart is SO perfect for Valentines even though you didn't make it for that. It is something you could have out though all the time to enjoy. I see you want to learn tatting. Me too. But I don't as yet crochet so tatting I know is way down the way for me. Your blog is so charming and I am now following you.
