I made 2 pillows using what I had at home and made it work. The 4 designs are from Embroidery Library. The first picture is more a fall theme and the 2nd picture is winter (just flip the cushions over) I have learned that I need to be very careful centering and use the printout for placement and check, check and recheck. Even though one is not centered I still like it and have learned from it.

How pretty! This is a wonderful color combo, and a great idea to get two different designer looks in the way that you have sewn these. Thank you for letting us see your project. You've inspired me!
Great job embroidering the colors go so nicely with your pillow materials. Double duty is always nice and no extra pillow to store - hugs :)
Beautiful job and it's o.k. he is just highter up in the tree. :)
Fabulous! What a wonderful stitchout on these pillows. I always have trouble getting the right color for the threads. What brand threads did you use?

I have used the threads I have bought from Metro and from Gammut Threads. I tried to match as close as I could to what was suggested on the pattern. Sometimes you have to change to colour depending on the fabric colour.
These pillows are spectacular! Very pretty on the upholstery fabrics.
Forgot to say--Even the seasoned embroiderer sometimes get it wrong on centering--I know--I am one of those--I even get puckers from time to time and wonder what the heck I've done to it!
These are all gorgeous and so much detail. Well done, love Chris
Oh my they look so nice. I like the fabrics you have used look nice an soft and comfy. Well done.

These are lovely, if you hadn't told me I would have thought you did this just to provide interest and it does. Great job.
