One of my hubby's nephews will be getting married soon. I'm 99.9% sure that he and his fiancee'
don't read my blog (few family members do) so I think I can safely
show the inspiration for a pillow set I'm making for them.
Here's the fabric I bought to coordinate with their bedding.
I made a monogrammed pillow and gave it at their shower.
Here's the front. It's 16x16" square.
1. I watched a youtube tutorial by Crafty Gemini on how to make an envelope pillow.
2. I made it more complicated by making a custom design (variation on log cabin quilt block, really).
3. I cut the pieces according to my design.
4. I machine-appliqued the chocolate letter Z on with a zigzag stitch and smoky blue thread.
5. I sewed on the top and bottom smoky blue pieces, then the sides.
6. I attached the white border in like fashion. Every bride needs some white in her linens, right?
7. I added the focus fabric to frame it.

I am in love with this fabric--"Flutter", by Alex Andersen.
When the other pillows are finished entirely, I'll show them.
In fact, my daughter said she loves the fabric and could "decorate a whole house in it."
Hint, hint, perhaps?
So that's one more project that took some time in late July to deliver in early August.
Very impressive, Zoanna! They're going to love it...who wouldn't?
