The start of this pin pillow was the butterfly fabric that has been designed by Geninne, a fantastic artist who lives in New Mexico, USA. I then chose the other two fabrics to compliment it. I have high-lighted five of the butterflies with beads and embroidery.
The edges where the fabrics are joined are decorated with lace, buttonhole lace, blue cross grain ribbon and stab stitch.
I have also tied on three 1940s buttons, along with some flower lace in the section on the left.
This pin pillow is now available in my Etsy store .

This pillow was made for a commission. I used a mixture of fabrics, with two forming the front and one for the back. The front was then embellished with an image of a lily (the pillow was for someone called Lily), a patch of vintage embroidery, my own embroidery, lace, pink gingham, prairie pints and a piece of lace.
I also created three buttons, which were each made from two fabrics and decorated with embroidery. These buttons have been tied onto the pillow so that they sink into it.
Once the pillow had been backed and stuffed with stuffing and dried rose petals, I then edged it in running stitch.
