Life's The Berries!

Here is the latest creation from Cove Cottage Farm!

I had so much fun creating this pillow cover!

What started out as a new way of printing images on fabric

from your own computer and printer,

to this Country Cottage Garden inspired pillow was a bit of a journey!

First I made a couple of prints using this tutorial curtesy of

Sandy Babb @ Quill Cottage.

I was all excited thinking I would use them to embellish an apron!

Then, I got to thinking, that isn't going to work because you cannot

wash the printed fabric pieces. They are not color fast. :~{

So, I thought and thought until my head hurt! I went through

my stash of *stuff* and found a couple of pillow forms

and decided to give it a try!

I love how it turned out ~ the vintage rick-rack and buttons,

from Grandmother's Button Tin ~ the country style ticking and

generous muslin ruffle!
And I was not even discouraged when I showed it to my dear

Gentleman Farmer and he says,

"But won't it be uncomfortable to put your face on those buttons?"

He's such a man!

*Sigh*

"It's just for 'pretty', darling."
