My Thoughts
Spring Blessings is the March free stitch of the month from Primrose Cottage stitches via their newsletter. It is now available on their website. Such a sweet design with the sheep and purple flowers, adorable!
I ventured way outside my comfort zone and did a shaped pillow…I am a rookie sewer, still learning the ropes of using a sewing machine, but I am so happy I went for it. It’s not perfect, but that is what this is all about; learning, growing, and trying new things!
I also went “big” on the trim, with those fluffy pom poms, maybe a little over powering on this little pillow. I am still not sure I love them, but there has been lots of positive feedback, thank you for that!
