Alison Glass Embroidered Pillow

September 30, 2014 by Jodi 6 Comments

I met Alison Glass‘ gorgeous designs during the spring Quilt Market and I love her style. So, when I needed an embroidery project to bust my boredom with during August, I ordered her pattern and sent Andy to the store to pick out floss that matched my chair. He did good, didn’t he? It is nice to have a visual artist as a spouse.

I was especially proud of him for finding the linen-looking fabric for the backing, which is actually curtain lining. It was exactly the feel I was going for.

Pattern: Alison Glass’ “Field Day Embroidery + Wool Appliqué”

This is the first time I used an iron-on transfer pattern and it was so very much easier than any other method I tried before. The transfer ink was rubbing off very quickly, but when I discovered it fading, I traced it over with a friXion pen. I will be looking for iron-on transfers in the future for sure.

I’ve been enjoying having this beauty in my living room. It is a happy by-product of a lame summer on the couch.

    That is really beautiful! Gorgeous stitching, and your husband did a great job picking the floss and fabric! I probably wouldn’t have looked at that pattern twice but I want to get it now that I’ve seen your version!

Sew Fearless is about a reckless pursuit of the sewing craft. It is about not letting your fears talk you out of your dreams. It is a place to go for encouragement, information, and sewing camaraderie. It’s a place where “done” is better than “perfect”, and where saying “I didn’t try” is worse than “I failed”. Read More…
