Well, for the last few days, I have been making my Memory Pillows for Mother's Day gifts. No one in their right mind would do this but me! I start out with a rectangle of linen (approximately 8" x 10" finished size), and I hand stitch various vintage laces, doilies, buttons, etc. on each pillow. Each one is uniquely different and one of a kind. I have seven made and will be putting them on my Etsy shop tonight later so you can order them in time for the holiday.
I also will gift wrap them and enclose a Mother's Day card if you need them shipped elsewhere. Each pillow is made with a pocket of lace and/or doily which holds a reproduction of a mother and child and a vintage Mother's Day card. They have various trim including rolled roses, vintage buttons, doilies, pearls, etc. Each one has a cluster of hand dyed, crinkled seam binding in the corner.
You can take the photos out and replace with your own vintage ones if desired!
So, here's what I've been doing.....
Enjoy!

So very beautiful, Judy! Those would be a PERFECT Mother's Day gift and how nice that you will dress them up as a gift for someone. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThese are a darling Judy! Wish I was as crafty as you!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous! And I guess I'll join that 'not in their right mind' club! I made one for my cousin last year using one of my grandmother's doilies. It felt good to make it and give it! I love these my friend! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWow, Judy...those are beautiful pillows! I can't imagine all the work that goes into making one of these. You have such a gift. :-)
ReplyDeleteJudy these are beautiful! You do the most amazing work my friend.

These are so unique and innovative! If I could send one to my mom in Heaven, I would!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, just for a heads up, any of your Feedburner followers are NOT receiving your blog posts! that's what I use and it's not working. I've missed 2 weeks worth of your posts and many others. I'm trying to "remember" which blogs I followed and have signed up with Bloglovin' to follow the ones I can remember. Yours is one of course!
I love to sew, but I've never made a Memory Pillow! Since my Mom is gone, I'd made it for myself and highlight my Mom so I could see/feel her every time I looked at it. Very pretty, so very pretty.
