Sandy Budlong came to the shop to purchase Designer's Dream and Burmilana to use on her "penny rug"quilting project and we fell in love with this look! Could it be translated into needlepoint - or vice-versa?
She used our #1009 Christmas tree pattern to create a quilted pillow, and we adapted her techniques to make our #1039 look like a quilted pumpkin.
The "secret" to achieving this look is to choose a relatively simple design and to use either basketweave or any small slanted stitch on the areas that are to be outlined in blanket (or buttonhole) stitch.
To finish this "Thanksgiving" pillow, our finisher actually felted the wool fabric (like the quilters do) and seamed it on the outside. Then we added buttonhole stitch around the outside edge.
