I finished up this little ornament design from Country Cottage in the 2007 JCS ornie magazine. I changed the greens to DMC 502 & 503. Yesterday I dragged Ethan “The Pill” to 3 quilt shops trying to find the right fabric for this pillow and ended up using this floral from my stash. I used this same fabric on my Blackbird finishes recently, you could say it is a favorite of mine.
I have a similar finish in mind for Little House’s ‘Snow Bunnies’ in the same issue. Ornament designs are a great size design for this type of finish.
The bottom photo of the hot air balloon I took this morning when I was sitting on my reading couch looking out the window. Jerry just called and needs a shopping list for Sam’s Club – better put one together and call him back!

PS – while looking on eBay for some Victoria Holt books that I’m missing for my collection (a favorite author since highschool) – I bought myself a little stitching treat. I’ll share it when it arrives!

Your pillow looks fantastic !! You have a great talent for picking the fabrics and colors, they go so well together.
as always a wonderful finishing job. I love you pillow.
Mary Kathryn … the pillow looks lovely. I wanted to stop by and say hi. I’m looking forward to getting to know you better as your partner for Fair Squares exchange.
What a lovely pillow!! I love the fabric you chose…perfect! 🙂
Very pretty finish on Peace Mary Kathryn! Funny, Victoria Holt and Phyllis Whitney were books I collected since High School!
Oh, me too, I read Victoria Holt as a girl, actually long before high school I think. There were all sorts of books around the house growing up and my mother never really censored what I read so I developed that romantic imagination early on!
Gorgeous pillow finish for Peace, and your finishing materials for the next project look very nice.
Your peace finish is gorgoeus!
A lovely pillow finish, your background fabric is beautiful. Which Victoria Holts are you missing – I have several and would willingly pass on any you don’t have.
