How cute is this??! Today I have to share the Valentine pillow I made this week! My good friend Shelli over at Needle In A Haystack Stitchery has been at it again, designing this fun project for the You Can Make This website. It is called "Candybox Pillow" and the fabulous pattern and instructions are now available for FREE at YouCanMakeThis.com....and even a beginner can easily make this fun Valentine project (REALLY!)! The instructions include measurements for both 14" and 16" pillow forms (I made mine with a 16")...the materials needed are minimal...and the directions include great photos to walk you through each step. Even better, I was able to use my AccuQuilt Go! Fabric Cutter to cut the 3" fabric circles that make up the flowers for the heart shape. I was able to complete this project in one sitting...and used some of my favorite Valentine fabric for the pillow (it's an older fabric from the "Hearts Aflutter" line by Sandy Gervais for Moda)....and I used a coordinating red hand-dyed batik for the heart flowers. This pillow is a bright and cheery addition to my decor, which is definitely needed this time of year!
