I made this pillow for my Mother (Miss Loretta) in 2004 for Mother's Day - it was my 1st attempt at doing any sort of digitizing. This pillow sat in a chair at my Mother apartment until I had to admit her to the Nursing Home - my daughter Sheila now owns it. (there will be other pictures in this posting, as well)

I hope you enjoy them all - it was Martine that suggested that I make a pillow for my Mother - which I already had done previously - so I am sharing it here now - just so you can see. This design was also used on the Quilt the the CUTE family members made for my Mother and was to be given to her on her 82nd. birthday - but she passed 11 days before her birthday so it was passed on to me - when I announced Miss Loretta was my Mother.
made for my Mother that was to be given to her for her 82nd birthday - she passed 11 days before that in 2010 - the quilt was given to me when I announced she was my Mother - upon her passing.

Absolutely wonderful shirlene, I find it amazingly good for you first attempt at digitizing.
How nice too that she enjoyed it whilst alive and can understand how proud she was that you made it.

Anita, thank you - I wished I would have been present - when she got it - to see the expression on her face. But I do know that whenever anyone mentioned it - she always told them - that I not only made the pillow but digitized the design and stitched it on the pillow.

Your first digitizing? it looks really great, how long did you work on getting it just right? A fabulous (had to google the spelling LOL) work of art for a keepsake.

Thanks - yes - I could - if I ever went down the steep stairs at my daughter's house. (Hehehe, me and stairs and especially steep stairs don't mix.)

Your mom was a beautiful young lady.You resemble her and you also have a beautiful heirloom._Toogie
1 comment
Thanks Toogie - not many people say that - my daughter has the heirloom - but I could have one to - if I wanted one - but I have it on my quilt - so I have a peek at the same design on a regular basis as another CUTE member asked for it - claiming to want it to make her own pillow - she did a great job with it and surprised me to have it on the quilt.

Wow Shirlene you did a fantastic job on the digitizing. I am so jealous.

Thank you so very much Jerri - I appreicate it. Don't be jealous!
I am, I wish I could digitize. I want to make a family memory quilt for my bed and doing each of my kids and Grandkids in embroidery like this would make it even more special. I am just going to use the Bubble Jet solution, when I do make it.

Shirlener it is beautiful. Which software did you use to digitize ? I wish I could do it? I love the vintage look in the pillow cover. God bless.
