and on my bed.
I worked on this pillow sham off and on for a while. The stars were pieced using a paper piecing technique and then appliqued onto some white linen. I decided to stipple quilt the bulk of the background because I wanted texture but without an organized pattern. I think that the second sham, in keeping with the celestial theme need to be something like planets or moons.
I'm so enjoying having this bit of handmade goodness on my bed. So often I make things like this to give or sell. It's nice to have some of it close by to enjoy.
I love this pillow. I think everything works so well together.

Love the pale piecing--what a fresh look. Have you seen the Japanese book called Simple Quilts, or some similar name? If not, you would like. I have it at home, can email you the author and ISBN if you're interested.
