Echino Pillow

The sun finally came out again today so while I had the chance, I took a few photos of the pillow I have made for my Mum .

The main fabric is Echino "Chelsea Lion" aqua double gauze, along with some matching blue linen to make a fairly basic pillow as I could not bring myself to cut the fabric up any further.

I used a decorative stitch with some variegated yellow Gutermann thread to sew along the edge of the linen - I wish now that I had done a few more rows of stitching in the linen.

And of course Simba came to investgate what I was doing .......here he is giving the Echino Lion the evil eye:)
