Girls in the Garden: HOME Pillow - Pfaff Creative Icon

When you need a new pillow and you can't find the right one, then you make one!

My Pfaff Creative Icon and the Premier +2 Embroidery Ultra made it so easy. As I have learned more about my Pfaff Creative Icon, I have found two very valuable resources to help. One is

Vantage Embroidery Software Support and this is all about the software.

With each monthly newsletter, I work the lesson and it really helps learn more about the software. Also, it helps my creativity. One of the lessons was on all the fonts and different ideas. I really liked the idea with the Stencil Font and the Quilt Block Wizard.

I couldn't find the right yellow fabric and was looking around my Pfaff dealer and found the perfect tea towel. She has a great selection of colors and they use them for all sorts of embroidery projects. One of the things, the towels were the perfect size for this pillow.

I stitched this out the first time in a tone-on-tone but you couldn't see my design. So I stitched it again in a blue color, much better.

I used a bit of trim I had for the ends and now a great pillow that compliments my quilts.

Now thanks to Vantage Embroidery Software Support, I used the lesson to make this pillow.

First off , use the stencil font, which I had to make a larger gap between letters so the crosshatch would go between the letters.
