Here are some more pics and a few details of the pillow I showed you a peek of here.
It all started with the creamy white rose trim. I’ve had it for a couple of years at least. I had just enough to make a circle. From there I added the grey rose trim and then pleated the crushed silk-look ribbon to form the outer circle. I liked it but thought it needed something in the center.
Enter the stencils from Royal Design Studio that I recently won!
I wanted it to be subtle so I used a creamy putty colored paint I had. But it was a little too subtle!
So after the first paint dried I added some grey to make the number pop just a bit. I chose the number 15 because it’s one of my favorite numbers and if this pillow doesn’t sell and I have to keep it, the number will be one I would use in my home 🙂
I don’t have any pics taken yet of this pillow cover or the others I have made with their inserts in them. A friend is supposed to pick up some more pillow inserts for me at IKEA this weekend. I’m hoping she doesn’t forget – hey Jessica ! DON’T FORGET!!! 😉
Your usual good work, Jill. It is very pretty. Had to chuckle when you said,”If I have to keep it.” That wouldn’t be too hard to do. But I think it will sell.
I hope it sells Mom – that is the point of all the stuff I’ve been making! I can always make myself another one 😉
So pretty, Jill! Ikea has the best pillow inserts, I’m always picking some up when I’m there! 🙂
i know Pam, I love them! I have stolen all the forms I have here already for the new pillows I’ve made and can’t wait to get the new forms to stuff some more!
Jill-That is just darling- I like the gray number-the other one just kind of washed out-color wise. Do you know I have never been to Ikea and I did not know that they had pillow inserts- xo Diana
Thank you Diana! I like how it turned out too. All my girls are born on the 15th so the number 15 is a fun one for me! Different months and years, but all the 15th day!
Love this pillow, Jill! Its elegant all the way!
Thank you Crystal – it looks like something you would like – elegant is a good description of you!
I just love that rose trim and the number is the perfect finishing touch!
🙂

Thanks Linda – I liked how this came together!
That pillow is incredibly beautiful. I love the cream roses combined with the gray roses. And, I strongly suspect, this pillow, though lovingly created with your favorite number will be going home with someone else. It’s perfect.
Thanks Amy – I really hope someone loves it enough to buy it!
LOVELY! I really like the layers upon layers of trim!! So Romantic & sweet!!!
It is a romantic look isn’t it Jennifer?! I rather like it a lot myself. Hoping someone else likes it well enough to buy it since I can’t keep everything I make!
This is so beautiful. Absolutely stunning
Thank you Marilyn! I like it pretty well too 😉
