Vendredi 2 mai 2008
Yesterday I was in the mood to do some finishing. So I decided to finish House on the Holly Hock Hill into a pillow. I started sewing and don't laugh but for me sewing with the sewing machine is something like to climb the Mount Everest.
I put the top together and really everything worked quilt well. After this I added some buttons, ribbon and lace and I was really happy that I was able to sew a straight line. Now I only had to sew the back on the front, but this really became a disaster
First the needle broke, then I tried about 15 minutes to put the thread into the machine and 10 minutes more to put the thread into the needle. And it's really unbelievable after this I sewed the right side of the back to the wrong sight of the front!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really was close to throw away my sewing inclusive the sewing machine. But I didn't give up and so finally at 11:30 pm the pillow was finished. (Will not tell you when I started it)
I went to bed and I thought never in my life I'll toutch a sewing machine again.
But when I wake up in the morning and looked at my little pillow which really fits perfectly in my kitchen.........???
Maybe I have to give a second chance to my sewing machine. Let' see!!

Romy, that is one charming pillow! And I have never ever used a sewing machine, so let me say that I greatly admire your determination! You deserve to be really really proud of this.

Oh my, I REALLY understand how you feel about the sewing machine! These could be exactly my thoughts also sometimes. I used to sew a lot earlier, but nowadays we are not very good friends with my sewing machine :) But your pillow turned out beautiful! It's absolutely lovely, I like the decorations you added, lace etc. Congratulations!!

Romy, you did a wonderful job!  I love the different fabrics that you've used and the trimmings are the perfect touch! 

I have off days with finishing sometimes and it is frustrating, but I'm glad you persevered, as your pillow is beautiful :)

Romy
your cushion is absolutely beautiful !
My  little Stella, a 25 years old sewing machine is also giving me hard time, but I hate to think that the day will come that I will have to replace her, as Bernina doesn't provid spare parts for her anymore.

anyway, your pillow turns nicely, I like the lace only on the right side

I think the pillow turned out  beautiful.  I once got up in the middle of the night to work on a sewing project - a pinafore for a dress I had made for my daughter.  The sewing instructions did not make sense earlier in the day, but I woke up and suddenly realized what needed to be done.  The dress and pinafore turned out very nice.

Je t'embrasse Romy et te souhaite une belle journée

Romy, your little pillow is beautiful and well worth the grey hairs and few wrinkles it may have given you :>) It is lovely to see beautiful stitching finished off and looking so attractive. The trimmings are perfect.
I have stitched the wrong sides together many times and once..aargh, I even ironed on the interfacing to the RIGHT side of my stitching!! What a terrible mistake..haha!
With best wishes, Angela
