This past Wednesday, I went to Joan's house hoping that she would help me make this piece of stitching into a pillow.
I had some fabric for the backing, some batting and some interfacing. I could have bought some lace for the ends, but since I just started to do some crocheting, I decided to crochet my lace.
Within minutes, it seemed, Joan had my pillow stitched up. I hand sewed my lace on and voila!
Peter and Peep
With thy Needle and Thread
28ct. cream linen/WDW, GAST, home-dyed and 1 DMC Variation
Date started stitching: 4/26/2012
Date finished stitching: 5/4/2012
Date finishing completed: 5/9/2012
I am really happy with how this came out. Thanks to my friend, Joan, for helping me. You make it look so easy. But now I know how to make these!
Happy Stitching :)

WoW! Stunning. x
Oh oh oh ~ it's sooo wonderful, Jill! I love the lace you made and the fabric you chose for the backing goes just perfectly! Fantastic finish! (Well done, Joan too!)
Love this design... your pillow looks fabulous, especially with the handmade lace edge.
Pillow looks great. Crocheted edging is a very nice touch. Can't wait to get mine stitched up:)
"just started crocheting"? Your lace is amazing! I've completed some really simple crocheted lace, but yours is remarkable. Congrats!
That is SO cute - you'll never convince me that you've just started crocheting! I can make a really nice chain... now that's "just started."
Beautiful pillow. Your lace is gorgeous.
Beautiful finish! I love the lace edging you made for it too :)
Your pillow is so cute...does Joan have directions for that style pillow anywhere? I think I might even be able to tackle this one!
This is a great piece and a great finish! I love it!
Such an adorable pillow--you and Joan make a great team, Jill :)
