I recently received a phone call inquiring about whether I was interested in a Workshop event with the Listowel Creative Needles Club. Marilyn had been visiting the Sew Fresh Quilts blog and suggested that one of the blocks from the Forest Friends quilt pattern could be used by the ladies in her group to make a quilted cushion for their January meeting.
And quilted using my signature organic wavy lines. I chose a light gray Superior Threads' Omni #3023 on top and plain white Guetermann polyester thread in the bobbin. Then I trimmed it down to the 13" x 20" size of the pillow form.
The backing is Aviary in aqua also by Michael Miller Fabrics. After making so many pillows this month, there was no need for me to turn to this tutorial by Svetlana of S.O.T.A.K Handmade for making the hidden zipper closure on the back.
The "Love Birds" quilted pillow finished at 13" x 20"
and was the 75th use of my 100 labels

If you are interested in having me come to do a Trunk Show or Workshop with your guild, mention Sew Fresh Quilts to your guild's program director. It never hurts to make an inquiry....
I am willing to travel. And have a valid passport. Just sayin'.

Oh, Lorna, how very sweet! The ladies at Listowel Creative Needles Club are so very lucky! XO
This is exciting! Love that little pillow. I'm still searching for the Quiltmaker's magazine for your cute giraffe quilt. I'm holding tight to the magazine that has your Reindeer block in it. My husband loves that block.
Adorable project. I've been low profile but still following your adventures. Have a wonderful holiday with your family, Lorna.
How exciting about the workshop Lorna! This pillow is adorable! Your pattern lends itself perfectly to being used for cushions!
You've been the busiest elf ever this year!
ALL the animals from the forest friends will make good pillows! Love this as well. It's on my to do list for this year...better work on my direction following!
And the back is so beautiful too.I can see a row of these on a settee.!!!
A trio of Forest Friends made it onto a pillow at my house this week. Lovin' these patterns!
Lovely pillow Lorna. Those ladies are very lucky.

All your blocks do make sweet pillows. Love the backing fabric.
What a wonderful workshop project! I love how each piece of your larger quilt pattern works so well on its own.
Oh congratulations on being approached for a workshop! I hope you and the quilters have a lot of fun together. :)
Beautiful pillow! Love the wavy line quilting. Happy Holidays!
Those birds are just adorable! The backing fabric is simply divine, as well!
They are perfect. Wonderful creative imagination you have.
Oh aren't they adorable little birds! And I love the wavy line quilting, they look like they're sitting in a breeze!
It's darling - I have a bird loving aunt who might be getting one of her own this year!
