hello blog Hop

I was thrilled to be invited to participate in the blog hop for Susan Emory's new fabric line for Michael Miller Fabrics, titled Hello! The main print in the line includes individual letters, ransom-note style. Here's a link to the line on the Michael Miller site.

Check out the main print!

As in previous blog hops, different designers are invited to make something out of the fabric line. I choose to make a monogram pillow. I used the fancy ampersand from the ransom print.

And a few more shots:

I used the gathering foot on my machine to make the ruffle. It was so quick!
If you're not familiar with Susan's fabrics and patterns, you should check them out! If your shop doesn't carry them yet, be sure to ask for them!

Nice! Did you free-hand draw a pattern for the appliqué? I am so not good at drawing.

Good question! I didn't draw it, rather I took a photo of the fabric and isolated the ampersand. Then I enlarged it is much as I possibly could in Microsoft Paint, of all things. I manually cleaned up the edges as well as I could and then printed a reverse image of the symbol onto newsprint. I layered the fabrics together and put the reversed paper on the back and did my initial tiny zigzag.

It has been quite a long while that I've seen a pillow created with ruffles! You might just be bringing it back into fashion with that pillow! Love it!

The ampersand doubles for an "E" to me and I'd jump at your idea to put it on a pillow for my family room! This fabric collection is so unique and fun, especially the ransom letters!
