| Finished poinsettia pillow |
For my youngest son and his wife I made this poinsettia pillow. I had the gold and black poinsettia fabric in my stash along with the black crinkle fabric.

The
design is from Urban Threads. I used a metallic gold thread and a regular gold colored thread fro the embroidery. Pretty sparkle. Because the black fabric was lightweight, I ironed on a stabilizer before stitching.

| Back of the front with the lining and serged edges |
Because the poinsettia fabric was just a cotton print I added a lining to the front and back to give it more body.
 |
| Finished front with trimmed corners |
After framing the embroidered piece, I then trimmed the corners to prevent 'dog-ears' and serged all around. I but a zipper in the back piece and added covered cord to the front before putting it all together.

I think this made a simple but elegant pillow.
