A Christmas Gift









I made my sister a pillow cover for Christmas.    A variety of fabrics from Liberty, Allison Glass and Joel Dewberry made for a vibrant centre piece which was constructed with the the mandolin block EPP  pattern from Tales of Cloth.

This was hand appliqued on to a soft grey shot cotton, quilted and then a finished with cobalt fringing echoing the deep blue in the centre hexagon and the edging strip on the envelope enclosure on the reverse.

She was quite delighted with it, and it will live on her special reading chair in her bedroom.

  5. This is gorgeous, I love the idea of using the one block to make a cushion instead of having to do the whole quilt. x
