a personalized pillow . . .


Well another birthday girl invitation came home (seems to be a recurring theme lately, must be birthday season). My oldest daughter always has unique requests when it comes to what to make for her friends, and this time she wanted a name pillow.  I had picked up a couple bolster style pillow forms for a good deal recently, so I didn't even need to make a trip to the fabric store.


The letters were appliqued using a fusible web and finished off with a blanket stitch.


The fabrics and zipper were from my stash.


I'll have to keep an eye out for these pillow forms on sale again, they make a fun quick gift!
