My First Cathedral Windows Ring Bearer Pillow

I've been making all kinds, sizes, and color combinations of Cathedral Windows for about 11 years now and this is my first attempt at a Ring Bearer Pillow. Most of my Cathedral Windows are made with 95% handstitching as is this pillow. I have done some that are machine stitched and find that I much prefer the look and feel of handstitching. For the very center of the yo yo I used a hot pink button that was the extra button in a crocheted sweater I owned years ago....just came across it in a drawer this week and thought it might be time to use it for something, and it was!

Completion

Always feels good to get another project completed satisfactorily. And this is most certainly one of those times. I love the avocado and rust colors in these throw pillows. The pillows definitely have a feel good effect on me! If you read a previous posting about my first time venture into making yogurt, then let me just add that it was ready to eat by this morning. And I can say that I am sooo hooked! We used a gallon of 2% milk, and half of the yogurt was refrigerated in storage containers, and some of it is being drained of whey for a soft cheese spread- the consistency being somewhere between yogurt and cream cheese. For some reason it isn't keeping that well, ie. it's disappearing (not so) mysteriously! :) Fred is going to the sleep lab overnight again with the goal of resolving the sleep apnea issues. They are going to hook him up again with monitors, and what he humorously refers to as a Darth Vader mask.

Polka Dots and Paisleys!

I'm going to let these pillows speak for themselves. After all, pillows talk! I'm not referring to the kinds of juicy stories
they could tell, but rather to the statement they make. The polka dot fabric/frames came from my friend Valerie of ponderosaquilter.etsy.com Thank you for sharing the foundation for this set of vibrant pillows, Valerie!
