With the bulk of my big scrapbooking project done, I found some time in between making Christmas cards to make my next sewing project. My sis in law really was the reason for me being on the ball because she wanted to make one too. She came over and we went to my favorite quilting store for some funky fat quarters.

I present to you my Wintery Forest Pillow… Ta da…

I have to say it was so much fun to make and even more fun to sit and look at once it was done. I was very tempted to add a star and polk-a-dot ornaments to one of the trees and in fact cut them out and stared at them for half an hour but… I forced myself to restrain. Maybe I need to make a second one that looks more Christmasy. My only beef with my pillow is that I wish I had moved the trees up a bit so the trunks weren’t sitting right on the bottom.

My super-duper-internet-searching-sister found the inspiration on Etsy and of course made one of her own. Go check them out and feel inspired yourself.
