One of my favourite projects from last year was my Hawaiian Leaf Pillow. I was inspired by some of the lovely Hawaiian appliqué quilts I have seen. I really enjoy working with DMC Perle 5 thread for the appliqué.
I am now working on another pillow to match using the reverse colours.
I am updating the pillows/cushions in our home theatre and the Hawaiian Pillows will make a good start. These lovely Metro Living fabrics from Marmalade Fabrics arrived yesterday and will be used for coordinating pillows .
The Hawaiian Leaf Pillow is in the latest issue of Handmade magazine
along with my Sewing Roll Project.
Congratulations on your recent publications Lisa! The colours in your cushion are gorgeous.
I like your lovely blog very very much:)) The cushion is wonderful!
Both are great!
beautiful pillow! I love the colors so I look forward to seeing your next project in reverse colors.
Beautiful! Love those colors!!
Aren’t you a clever duck! Congratulations on another magazine credit.
Yum! Love the colours you choose for your pillow, Lisa.
Congrats on having another of your gorgeous projects published! Woot! Woot! :o)
Your stitches are beautiful. At first, I thought they were machine stitched. Congrats on your publication, they look like fun projects to work on and I love the way you used the rick rack and sewing machine stamp for embellishments.
Congratulations on yet another published project. Love how you used felt for it.
And the Sewing Roll is also very cute.
Thank you for your advise on the book from your earlier post!
I have a fondness for Hawaiian motifs. I lived there for 3 years and my daughter was born there. What a beautiful pillow and I love the stitching.
Congratulations! Looks like I need a copy of this mag! Love the sewing roll!
great-colours!

Your stitches are so, so, so neat! Also…a home theatre!? I’m so, so, so jealous! 🙂

Great projects Lisa. I may have to buy this issue now. Off to the Newsagency.
Lovely pillow and beautiful stitches! Really, there is nothing like lovely hand stitching. It looks like you used a felt (?) for the applique? I’m not sure. Great way to not have to turn the edge tho. Is the background quilted prior to adding the applique? Thx for showing us this beautiful project.
Congrats on the publication, gorgeous fabrics and I love the pillow….
