Gathered Pillow with Tattered Rosettes

Tutorial:  www.justanotherhangup.blogspot.jp (Gathering Fabric & Muslin Pillow Tutorial - also contains a link to the tutorial for tattered muslin rosettes)

As you can see in the photo, I did not use muslin but a cream cotton with metallic gold stars.  I also made an envelope-style back and layered both with Pellon fusible fleece.  I have not yet made the actual pillow so the above photo is unstuffed.  I hand stitched the rosettes instead of gluing them and then hand stitched them to the pillow.  The finished size is 14" x 17".

Happy Quilting!

Crayon Roll

Tutorial:  www.thepleatedpoppy.com

I used Babyville PUL fabrics and a piece of Pellon fusible fleece instead of the flannel for the lining.  This one follows the tutorial and holds 15 crayons but it will be easy to increase the size to hold the whole box of 24 crayons next time.  A Frixion pen worked great to mark the stitching lines - I really love how it disappears with the heat of the iron.

Happy Quilting!
