My most frustrating work in progress this week is my sewing room!
Ice dams this winter caused some pretty major water damage,
so we're having the walls and ceiling repaired this week.
Here are some "before" photos:
Wasn't it pretty?!
And here it is now:
It's such a mess!
I decided to move my sewing machine to our bedroom, and to just work on small projects this week, as there isn't much room to spread out. So this week has been all about pillows!
I really love how this pillow finished up!
The paper-pieced pattern can be found here.
I added a scrappy border and hand quilted it with #8 perle cotton in cream and turquoise.
The back is a super soft turquoise minky with a zip closure, but I forgot to take a picture of it!

I'm sorry to hear about the water damage. I have had that before (though not because of snow in South Texas) and it can be so frustrating. I'm sure you will get your gorgeous sewing room back together soon! The 8 point star you worked on is incredible!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about all your water damage. Bummer!! Your pillow is fabulous! I love the skinny scrappy border! I have been working on a lone starburst quilt for almost a year ~ I *think* I may just get it finished this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are back in your sewing room before long
