Modern Quilted Pillow Swap - round 2
I participated in the first round of this swap, and I really liked the idea of just making a pillow with no one in particular in mind as it is a great way to try out new ideas, or even just making something for fun.
So this was the pillow I made for the second round - a scrappy spiderweb pillow using some scraps of some of my favourite fabrics.
I have done a spiderweb design before but this one is much more colourful, and I even did a bit of handstitching in some pretty blue perle thread which is something I am trying to do more of.
This pillow is now in transit to its new home where it will hopefully be enjoyed, and I am still stalking the posite for my pillow:) The second round was great as no-one got a pillow below their 5th choice! The swap has now been renamed "X-factor pillows", and the 3rd round is on now with a theme of "triangles" although it can be of any design - pillows are due by 6th October.
