This is a picture of a 3 x 3 sewn pillow that is one of three that I am working on. It's called a Friendship Pillow as part of an art exchange I am in.
The reason it's called Friendship Pillow is that it holds a very special message INSIDE the sewn pillow that is supposed to offer comfort to the recipient and make them feel that they have a friend who is always thinking about them.
I was a little hesitant to participant, in this swap, because I don't sew very well but I love the person who is offering the swap and she inspires me SO much and encourages me to try things that I'm a little shaky about.
The thing is to create the pillow, stuff with polyfil and before sewing it to close it, insert the comforting friendship quote inside.
I decided, for my pillows, I would use antique handkerchiefs for the fronts. I will share pics of the other two in future. I found this to be a very special art exchange and quite meaningful for the recipients and myself. I cannot wait to get my returns! Fun!
Love, Marilyn
