the most beautiful pillow in the world!

And it is mine, all mine.....My friend Laurie from buttonslace.blogspot.com made it for me....I saw that she had made Colleen, the Amazing Mrs. B a crazy quilt pillow and I asked her if she would trade me one for a pet portrait of her Bobby dog. We both had a lot of fun and mailed each other our surprises at the same time. She asked me about a theme and colors and I told her to just make what she liked and I would love it.... A few days ago I got this stunning beauty of a pillow in the mail......







She used our wedding photo to build around! Isnt it just wonderful? The stitching is amazing and it is the best keepsake ever...I cried when I saw it. You have to click on the picture so you can see all the detail. This is a pillow that I will treasure forever...I am half tempted to wrap it up and put it away for safe keeping, but I think I will show it off for a while first.
I sewed for a little bit today...it felt good. I am making a little something for my violet" giveaway....I also hemmed a pair of tiny little jeans for Ruth Anne....I caught her out in the yard doing a little rock climbing...She also is wearing a new hair do....(wig)...and the jeans and blouse I made for her.








Have a great day everyone.....
