Little Chick Pillow!


Today I finished a pillow with the spring chick design that I won from Stacy of Buttermilk Basin. It is a fun design to do and since it is longer, I reduced it a bit to make a pillow to put in front of one of my wood boxes.

For this piece I used a white muslim and then antiqued it. I also added a little extra stitching and outlines, then I did a blanket stitch around the outer edge of the pillow.

I am not sure, but I think the new batting is causing the stains to pool in one spot.


And her is the back, I used a green  homespun and  you can see how the stain pooled in spots.

    This is really nice! I like how the 'stain' has pooled in places and looks quite natural to me.

    The "pooled" areas make your sweet pillow look aged and vintage - which makes me like it even more.

    In addition, what I truly like too is the edge - how neat!
