PTS 8 - Pillow Talk Swap - Round 8

I love me some pillows.... so, I'm swapping again!  Plus, I really love all the folks in this swap!  Getting a pillow from any of these swappers is a real treat.

So when I was 'stalking' my partner, it turned out that she and I have very similar tastes.  All of her favorites were ones that I would have made my favorites too.  And, her likes were pretty broad, just like mine!  So, I knew if I made something I adored, she would probably dig it too. 

So.....here's what I came up with...  

I'm currently working on my Loulouthi quilt that uses this same pattern. 


It's called Curlicue and I re-sized it to make it fit into a 20" x 20" form. 


 I used a ton of Denyse Schmidt fabric with some Suzuko Koseki prints.  


Here's the back.  I used a DS Quilts Daisy Mae print (which happens to be one of my favs).


 I added a zipper and of course, a little label. 


Here's a close up of my quilting. I decided to hand-quilt it.


Yes, Annie (My amish alter ego that makes me hand quilt everything!) took over again!
She kindly suggested that I do a petal / catherdral windows pattern, so I did. 


So, what do you think, Partner?  Do you love it as much as I do?  I hope so! 

This is going to be a tough one to give up.  Please don't laugh at me if I make one for myself.  Okay, you can, just not too loud.... 

Thanks so much for letting me share another project.

oxox,
Sunny

  3. I love this pillow! I know your partner is going to love it too! I think it's pretty awesome that you have an Amish alter ego. I think I may have to start calling you Annie!
