I'm very proud of the embroidered chicken I made for my mom. I'm getting better at learning how to keep my stitches from stretching the fabric.
Although I think the chicken is totally cute... my grandmother's work still kicks it's butt! When I was in Houston in October she ended up giving me a beautiful peacock embroidery. This weekend I decided to turn it into a pillow for my bed.
When I bought the fabric for the pillow I had originally decided to make two borders: a small blue border and a design border. The peacock was so large though, that I decided (with my friend Ali's help) that the design border should really just be piping.... so it was time to learn how to make piping!
Here's the result!!!
I love the back fabric so much! I have a lot extra and my plan is to make two smaller pillows out of it for my bed!
