An Embroidered Luminous Field Pillow : :

Before I used up every last crumb of my Luminous Field strike-off to patchwork projects and quilt tops, I wanted to be sure to highlight this particular print in an item for my Quilt Market booth. I decided on a small decorative pillow that's much simpler than the Feather Sketch pillow I shared yesterday and the Stitched Arrow pillow that I plan to share next!



For this one, a small rectangle cut from my favorite print of colorful wildflower sketches is framed with a narrow stripe from my Sun Tracks print on one side, with a strip of Pure Element Spiceberry quilted with Aurifil in a variety of colors and decorative heirloom & satin stitches on the other. It was an easy, quick, and pretty project that adds the romantic bohemian touch that I hope to showcase in little bits as I share all the project ideas I have for this collection!





I'm such a fan of the rectangle pillows, the size & shape is so perfect for tossing onto a sofa, bed, or chair!



In addition to highlighting this favorite print of mine in this pillow project, I've been working on a second quilt that will feature how nicely my Folk Plaid print will play with all the colors! I have such a small amount of each fabric to work with, with each new project I begin, at the start it feels a little limiting when it comes to size and design, but everything seems to be working out so far. Thank goodness!



The stormy-midnight-denimy shade of blue I chose for this buffalo check plaid print partners so well with each of the solids I pulled for this quilt. If I had enough of this plaid I would love to make an entire quilt with blocks of it framed this way! But since I don't, I've added the ten blocks I've made to a folk medallion pattern I'm just designing as I go. This particular quilt I'm making for lounging on and snuggling under at games, picnics, and campfires!



It hangs in my sewing room window now as I wait for more scraps to build upon to add and as I begin the next Wild & Free quilt idea on the list, involving my entire collection of Art Gallery Fabrics low volumes including my Fletching Chant and Luminuos Field print once again!



Stay tuned!!  ♥ Maureen
