This is my very first bolster pillow, I had the pillow but no cover for it. The fabric is Polyester with a two colour shot, royal blue. The rose design is from Kim Bradley Creations and the other fancy stitches are from my Janome sewing machine. They are done with Hemmingworth embroidery cotton and have put satin piping around the edge. It is drawn together with white cording on each end and I have just tied it in a bow. This one is for me at last and I hope you dont mind I am posting a picture of it before I have joined it up and the finished pictures. This is it while it is still flat.

These white roses on the dark fabric really stand out to make a beautiful pillow Sanjoy51.

Thank you, it all started when I saw and add on the TV advertising pillow cases in the dark blue and the white roses down the side. Well yes I made the pillow case too that was first and then I had pillows that didnt have a cover so this is it. Still have to put the pillow case back together and then I will post it too.

Thank you Shirlene, you are welcome. It was easy to sew it together, it was stopping it from stretching that was the problem.

Dear Sandra,

O.K. O.K. gotta have one - can I be your friend? Only joking - it is great and I absolutely love the colour - it's the colour of my bedroom! It is simply divine, fabulous, and any other adjective I could think of to describe it. Can't wait to see a picture of it on the bed! Can you tell I 'kinda' like it? Love Chris

Thank you Chris, yes I can tell you like it, its not bad for a piece of fabric I got out of the offcut basket at bargain box. Then put a quilt designers design with it and bam there you have it. Glad you liked it. It's not my colour in my bedroom at the moment, but I am working on it.
