When I take a class, I feel compelled to make a project I started in that class. Because of that compulsion I am feeling stressed to finish those unfinished class projects.
I finished one of those class projects today! Last year I took a needle-turn applique class, using the Hesperides pattern, with Carolyn Friedlander.
I turned the piece into a pillow cover. The fabric I used for appliqué is from stitch in dye in Austin, Texas. I bought it at their booth at QuiltCon 2018.
I’m happy with the result although I’m a little annoyed with the polyester pillow form because I can’t get the corners to fill. If you have recommendations for dealing with this or a pillow maker, please let me know.

Looks fabulous, Wanda! I hope you’ll bring to the meeting tomorrow. 😉

The pillow is small enough to stuff with cotton stuffing instead of a pillow form. I do not use poly stuffing for anything because it’s too hard and it’s a challenge to fill small spaces such as doll fingers or in your case, pillow corners. Quilting Adventures carries cotton stuffing.

Maybe this hint will help. Don’t make the corners square:

Try it on scrap fabric first.
