I started with this 14-inch pillow. I had seen this tutorial, but I decided to use 1-1/2" strips and graph paper to design mine. I have always wanted to make a pink and yellow quilt and was also able to use some ric rack I had on hand. I did quilt the squares in the ditch so the top has a little poof to it, and I was really pleased with the way it turned out.
I also stitched this Lizzie Kate "Love Crazy" cross stitch and made it into a pillow. I added a button to the middle to add a little sparkle.
Now that my holiday cushions are finished I should probably get to work on sending Valentines. Thank you to Madame Samm and Jane our cheerleader for this blog hop. You can follow these links to see what everyone else has to share...
