Valen”tiny” Pillow

My Guild challenged us to make a Valen”tiny” something just for ourselves.  Any size up to 24”. 

I had a 12” pillow form kicking around forever.  It’s quite old and quite solid.  Time to give it life. 



Anyone that knows me knows that I love collage.  Whether it be with paper or fabric.



Even though it has hearts on it, I tried to keep it on the generic everyday side more than strictly for Valentine’s Day.



It was a fun time putting this together.



After finishing the cover and stuffing the pillow form inside, I looked at it and immediately noticed that I didn’t include a selvedge!!!  How could I, of all people, forgotten to include a selvedge?!

Well, my mind has mostly been elsewhere, so “stuff” happens.

Your collaged Valen”tiny” pillow is stunning. You could add selvedge fringes to the corners however I think it would ruin this gorgeous pillow.

Your pillow is beautiful! It’s nice to not scream Valentines so it can be enjoyed longer.

I love your pillow, selvage or not included, it's Fabulous!

I love your pillow, and on that beautiful background quilt it doesn't need a selvage.

Oh, Annie, this is so lovely! You'd win the prize in your guild, if they were giving one. There are so many sweet spots to look at and take in while my eye travels all over your pillow. It's obvious so much love went into making it!

Sorry I am late visiting. I've had company since Friday and they are now on their way back to CA.

I'm not sure what selvedge is, but I absolutely adore that gorgeous collaged pillow. It is adorable.
