Pillow
 

Nothing too exciting, but I made a pillow out of orphan blocks and used Donna Jordan's envelope method for the case. It worked really well although for the second one I think I'll make the actual pillow top a bit more roomy as it is kind of squishing the pillow form.

I needed something with immediate results to get me back into the sewing room as I've been in such a slump lately.

Those bright colors look great on the white.

Pretty pillow! That will brighten any room!

A great start to get your quilting mojo back.

Very nice and hopefully those bright colored fabrics will get you out of your slump and back into sewing again soon. It is very trying times now but I find if I can sew a little each day then I feel good about being sheltered in. Take care of yourself and good luck to you

I like that rainbow thread, it really adds a lot to the pillow to pull it all together.

I have made a lot of pillows in the last few years. Have been making memory pillows out of men's shirts. One hint I learned was to make the corners a bit rounded instead of a 90 degree corner. I kinda like when the pillow is a bit tight. Makes the front more visible. Great job. Like the variegated thread idea.

I was in a slump too. It is hard being so isolated. I did a few days of yard work and am happily sewing again. Stay well everyone.

Your pillow is lovely! I like it very much. I understand your slump. I think many of us are being pulled in all directions right now. Right now however I seemed glued to the sewing machine while other things are taking the back seat. The Stay Home, Stay Safe orders are wearing on everyone. I have been inside now for just about 10 weeks. Since the end of Feb. There are so many things I should be doing. and I am wearing down. I am so glad the pillow is a self starter for you. I am looking forward to your next project. I will be watching for it.
