I made a wedding gift. A pillow.
She wanted creams, ivories, and chocolate brown. I figured diamonds were appropriate, beings that it was a wedding and all.
And a little wall quilt (that I started forever ago and will now deliver in person.)
Plume reminded me of her. I hope she likes it, and that it brightens up her windowless office. (The neutral is Kona Stone)
(And the back next to the plant that inspired some of that color)
two handmade gifts for two friends.
This is why I love quilting.
I may buy too much fabric, but I'll never have to buy another gift from a registry again if I don't want to.

The pillow is lovely. Very classy looking.
ReplyDeleteI love both of them, but that pillow turned out great!
ReplyDeleteThey are both fantastic! Especially love that pillow!

ReplyDeleteI really like the pillow. Have you ever seen Peniel Pillows? Perhaps an idea for you...hmmm.
ReplyDeleteGuess what I'm going to do this afternoon...go ahead guess. No, not quilt. Browse a NEW quilt shop in town...all. by. myself. WOOHOO!!
Getting presents is great but handmade ones are even better especially great looking handmade one like these! Happy summer!
ReplyDeleteCute! Good way to use up your fabric and a great gift idea. I especially like the chocolate and cream pillow.
ReplyDeleteHeck ya! Agree totally with you on the whole not buying a gift from the registry and just going with something handmade! What fabric line did you use for the quilt---really Pretty?
ReplyDeleteThe pillow turned out great! really classy looking.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful gifts!
ReplyDeleteSweet gifts that I am sure will be loved.
ReplyDeleteLovely presents, I'm sure they will be much appreciated. I love being able to make something rather than buying from a list or wandering aimlessly around a shop until spotting something looks like it will be good. Juliex
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing better than a gift made by a friend! those are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI can say with authority that the quilt was loved :) Thank you, Tracey! And instead of hanging it, I've been using it for pretend picnics. You'll have to explain that part to your readers...
