I am so excited and can't stop looking at this
I can't believe I made this pillow and it was fairly easy.
I am sew addicted now.
I even made a second one this morning, just to make sure the first wasn't a fluke, lol.
I used poly-fil. They come out a little lumpy (I can live with that).
Is there a secret??? Do tell, please!!!
My slip stitching is not perfect either. (another thing I can live with)
This is where I set up station on Friday nite. Our basement in the dining/bar area.

My sewing machine has been tucked away since Kellie was born. It sure isn't anything fancy, but it does the job. There won't be no more dinners on that table for awhile, lol
Actually we only use that for company. I just won't invite anyone over for dinner,lol
I really need to read and comment on blogs, so I will be doing that on Tuesday.
Today is Superbowl Sunday.
Tomorrow I have Brianna.
So Tuesday it is.
I started to stitch on a blogoversary give away gift last nite, what could it possibly be, lol.
And it's not gonna be a Voodoo doll.
Happy Stitching!!!
Happy Stitching!!!

You are on a finishing roll, both of the pillows look great.

Your pillows look great! You did a marvelous job. I especially love the fabric for the 2nd pillow. Very pretty stripe.
Your finishes look totally fabulous!! In fact, I think I just fell in love with "Where My Heart Blooms" because of your wonderful finish. Beautiful work, Ranae!
How pretty--you did a GREAT job!
WOW They are both wonderful !
the fabric colours look perfect against the stitching.Looks like the sewing machine is going to be busy.
Well done on the pillow finish. It looks wonderful!!
Awesome! Awesome! Congrats on two wonderful finishes :)
I use poly-fill for smaller pillows. I work the fill around once they are slip-stitched shut, and that usually helps to work out the lumps. For the bigger pillows, I have used pillow forms. The downfall is that you have to be more precise on the measuring so that it fits the form (I'm not a big fan of that!)
Your pillows turned out great!
Congrats of 2 beautiful pillow finishes!! You really did an awesome job!
Woot! Yee-haw! Those are GORGEOUS!! You must be walking about 3 inches off the ground!
As for lumpy pillows, which I can also live with, I've found a hypo-allergenic fill that doesn't clump. It's absurdly expensive, but it fills in the corners and everything nicely and doesn't leave any lumps. That said, I also get a huge kick out of using wool rovings as filling, and that stuff's incredibly lumpy and hard but it just looks so darn charming (IMHO). Just depends on the look you're after!
They both look fantastic Ranae!
Two beautiful pillows! You did a wonderful job on both!
WOW those are great.
Both pillows look very nice..Congrats
Those look great. I always buy a pillow form and just add fabric on either side of the finished piece to make it the size of the form. No worries about lumpiness then.
Hurray !!!!
You're pillows are great :)
Lumpiness...I use poly-fil too. What you do is fill the corners first (that way you can them nice and full - tight. But use small clumps of poly-fil at a time, pull out a big chunk but "shred" it first by pulling into small bits and stuff...that's the secret - patience!
Your pillows are so, so beautiful! I can understand that you can't stop looking at them. You found the perfect fabric for both of them.
Wonderful, well done, they look super. I can see that sewing machine getting lots more use.
wow! you did a fantastic job Ranae...they turned out great!!

Love your pillows. Great job.
Great job, Ranae!!! Lovely finishes, both.
No wonder you have so many comments and my blog list is growing longer and longer and longer. Yup I've added you too! I love what you have done with both of your pillows. I have just become addicted to stitching over one! Thank you so much for the lovely comment you left on my blog. Lots of Love Patti xxxx
Both pillows look great!
Beautiful pillows! What lovely finishes.
Two stunning finishes which will certainly add a touch of elegance to your home. Well done.
beautiful pillows, Nice finishing
Wow, you did a fantastic job on these pillows! I've never tackled anything like this and without a sewing machine I'm not likely to.
Nice pillows. Now that you know you can do it, you will probably be doing more.
My LNS tells me to use big globs of the fiberfil and to stuff them really tight. They look awesome then. Stuff it tight and then add more she says. That takes care of all the ripples and bumps. Good luck.
I love the fabric on the first one. Both pillows are really beautiful.
