PILLOW SWAP








The Pillow Swap...

Organised by the lovely
 Dutch Sister's

 Corry and Heleen
Thank You!

I finally finished it this morning and posted it
to my swap partner,
 Helen
 in RUSSIA!

The remit was a cushion cover 16" x 16"
Packaged and posted by 30 November...
Whoops!

My swap partner also stated her favourite colours were brown/beige/olive

I found some vintage Swedish ticking in my fabric stash

I also found an old brown sweat shirt hoody,
 belonging to my husband...
He is in London...he won't mind...
I cut this up...for the stag/deer

I had a stash of polka dot felt squares...
I chose the Lime Green... not quite Olive! 
 It adds a bit of vibrancy... I think it works well
It gives it a snowball Christmassy feel

I finished it off
 with a strip of vintage Swedish lace to the back
and hidden in the inside is an embroidered tape

saying...
TO SOMEONE SPECIAL 

I am really happy how it turned out...
I hope you will be happy too Helen

Happy Pillow Swap...
