Handmade Easter Pillows

Before I turn the computer off for the day, I thought I'd share mom's Handmade Easter Pillows:

I just love the pastel colors of Spring, don't you?

Hearts and Flowers Biscornus

For all the cross stitcher's out there, Hearts and Flowers Biscornus are now available again:

Crazy Quilt Bird Pillow

I'll do the finishing on my last purse project tomorrow but for today, I started another crazy quilt project:

I hand painted the lace pieces yesterday morning and started stitching on this earlier today.  Blues and purples are so pretty together, don't you think?  This is very Springy and I'm am ready for Spring now!

Finished Stitching Purse

I finished up the stitching on this crazy quilt purse early this morning:

I promised Kathleen that I show close ups of the silk ribbon roses.  These are not my "twist & tack" roses.  These are all worked with a few Japanese ribbon stitches and a French knot.

This purse will have a rounded bottom but like the pink I did last week:

I'll probably use lace around the outside of the rose lady purse rather than the crocheted trim that I did on this one.

Rose Purse

Here's a little update on my current crazy quilt purse with the roses:

About another 1/2 hour and I'll be done on the computer and then I'll go stitch on this some more.

They're calling for 3 to 5 inches of snow tonight.  Geez!  Isn't it Spring yet?
