Sew Maybe I Can (You're here!)
So,,without further adieu,,here's my pillow. I really enjoyed making this. It's been many, many years since I've done any applique, and I'm very pleased with how it turned out.
Notice the essentials of sewing for me--Timmy's cup,,sugar,,,water LOLOLOL

While looking for supplies for this pillow, I raided my stash and came up with a few changes in colours & materials. There was/is no white wool felt in my small town--anywhere! I tried regular craft felt, but it just didn't look right. So back to the stash I went. I found fur trim for Christmas stockings, tried it for the snow, and I love the way it looks!
If you look closely, you'll see I have a modern day Santa coming in,,,,,in a spaceship! The olive green house is a treasured piece of vintage fabric from the 1950s gifted to me by my wonderful mother-in-law. I love the way it looks.
I hope you've enjoyed my journey through Holiday Lane,,,I sure have.
My sincere apologies to everyone for my late posting. I've had an emergency here for the past 24 hours, and haven't been here.
