Finished Hello World pillow

And as I have all my quilts at home at the moment (usually they are hanging on the walls of the craft studio) I thought I would photograph it in the sun on top of my Petal Porthole Quilt. The pastel tones seemed to work well together.

I added plenty of hand quilting in different coloured perle cottons, including that little New York Beauty in the centre (it just looked too empty).

I used more of the gorgeous Mini Menagerie panel for the back.

So now this pillow cover will get packed up and mailed off to Blend Fabrics, and some lucky people will get to see it in person at Quilt Market in May!

Here’s a link to an earlier post about this project. Simon seems to like it anyway!

Basically this blog hasn’t taken over the whole business, bwahaha!
We have lots of plans for the website and once we get settled in the new premises we will be adding plenty of new products.
