What I Made this Week: 6/22/24

 Grandma was a little under the weather the later part of the week, but I did manage a finish and it was for our home ...

A few years ago, we purchased a country ham and the more I looked at the bag it came in, the more I decided that I would like to turn it into a small throw pillow.   I gave it a good washing and set it aside.  It took me a while to get back to it though ... what can I say!

When I did, I carefully cut it down to size, stitched on a ticking backing and then stuffed it with all the fabric bits and bobs I've been saving.  Yes, the entire pillow is filled with fabric scraps like is shown in the picture and yes, I had lots.  Fabric has gotten so expensive that I aim to use every scrap of it in some way!

Here it is on an antique rocking chair on my front porch.

Then I brought it in and added it to an antique gooseneck rocking chair in our living room.  I think I like it best inside on this chair.

It suits the 'farmhouse' decor style I have going on in my home and I couldn't be more pleased with it.

That's it for this week.  Next week, my focus will be on working on Christmas sewing or making as the 25th of the month falls during the week.  For those who don't know, I try to do something toward Christmas on or around the 25th of each month.

Please share what you stitched up or created this week, I would love to hear about what you're working on!    

Until next time ...
