Hi, I made 2 of the pictured pillows for my dear friend Diane J for her birthday. The design is from Kim Bradley, and it is embroidered on purple velvet. The velvet was a big challenge to sew especially at the ends where I joined pink satin to it, I think they worked out well in the end!
Cheers,
Claire

Thanks Shirlene, yes she did like them. I did the embroidery on both sides of the pillow - but impossible to show that in a single photo. Cheers Claire

Thanks Roxsy there is something sooooo luxurious about velvet!!! The satin is in the ends of the tied bits, which unfortunately don't show up in this photo. Ciao Claire

Thank you, by the way the embroidery is in a pale pink (not easy to see in the photo) and it matches the satin colour. Cheers Claire
