Everythings coming up Roses, Lace and Ribbons...

So much to do and so little time!!! I finished this little roll pillow yesterday...

She was fun to make... The rose center I downloaded from my computer and printed it onto transfer fabric... It's like a course muslin. I was a little anxious about how that would work but It went quite smoothly. Then I added all the other fabrics, lace and ribbons...

I love the fabrics, so soft and romantic...


Once the sewing was done I just stuffed it with Fiberfill and tied the ends together with a mix of ribbons...




I am happy with how it turned out... Hope your Day is Rosey!!!!! I am off for a Golf... xoxo~Kathy.

  1. Kathy, you are one talented lady! I love the pillow, and it looks so pretty in the wicker rocking chair.

    I peeked at your daughter's website. Her photography is beautiful. I don't know if I'll ever be brave enough to take "people" photos, but she does a fabulous job. :)

    Have a great 4th of July weekend!

  2. The pillow is stunning. I love the stripes with the flowers, and the ribbons and lace are such a beautiful finishing touch. I didn't know there was transfer fabric. It's gorgeous. Hugs, Marty

  4. Kathy, this is such a sweet pillow!

    I was wondering, is the rose design on the center fabric actually a photo that you transferred to fabric? It is so pretty.

  6. Hi Marsha... Yes, to your question about the center rose print on the pillow.I found the print on the computer and fell in love with it. Then I downloaded it into "My Pictures". Then I printed it from my computer onto a special fabric that goes through your printer. (I believe I purchased it at Michaels...)It's made spacifically for traveling through your printer without getting jammed. It worked Pretty well!!! Just have to make sure you only put one sheet at a time in your printer. Hope that was helpful, xox~Kathy

  10. What a pretty finish. Love the embroidered one with the birdhouse. Did you do that one also?
    Nice festive table all ready for the big celebration. We are off to our little town's parade this morning.
    All day yesterday was spent with our ukulele band putting on our Hawaiian show and lots of hula. I was wiped out when I returned late afternoon yesterday.
    Hope you had fun at Golf...

  14. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance!

    Enjoyed looking over your creativity on your blog. The pillows are fabulous! I especially love the one with embroidered birds, as I made something like this decades ago to cover our pet parakeet's cage at night. It brought back a lot of great memories for me!

    I'm so glad you liked my first silver project, and I appreciate the encouragement! I really like your necklace pictured in the sidebar, very creative and fun! I hope to learn some lampwork, too. I'll visit again!
