Jax' Christmas pillows

Post by Jax4alfie »

My RR group decided that we would send each other an ornament so in a moment of madness I decided to stitch all 8 of mine (they didn't have to be stitched). I have the finishing skills of a left handed meerkat so I decided to put my stitching in Christmas tuck pillows. I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out. not the best phot's but you get the idea. Here are the frist four

The snowman is from JBW Designs and the Merry Little Christmas is, I think, a Bent Creek design.

Great ornaments! Do you have a pattern for the tuck pillows (especially the round opening one)? I did one for my kingfisher but sort of made it up as I went along...

The openings on the square pillows are 5" x 5" and the ovals are 5" x 3". I've had them for ages. Somewhere I have the instructions for making tuck pillows - I'll go stash trawling and see if I can find them !
