Twilight Boo-Levard Bench Pillow, by Kimberbell

I don’t have an embroidery machine so I made the “sewing” version of her pattern. My applique is turned edge and there is a lot of hand embroidery in this thing. This took about as much time to make as a full size quilt would take me. Geesh!! I can see why the embroidery version would be much neater and quicker way to make this…so many tiny details. The pattern suggests including fairy lights but I couldn’t bring myself to poke holes in this.. lol.. My hand embroidery is not the best but it is what it is….

Looks great! Hand embroidery is a nice hand project but a full quilt can take a while.

Gosh teen, this is adorable. I can't see one thing wrong with your hand embroidery. Matter of fact, it is perfect. I really love the bench pillows, so stinkin" cute. I don't have one, but, I am thinking that the pillow wouuld be cute on a bed as a seasonal accent.
