I made another beautiful pillow yesterday. I was so anxious to make this Kaleidoscope picture the minute I saw Rita's version on her blog Red Pepper Quilts. I obviously decided to go a different direction with the style and colors. I really love the way it turned out! As if there wasn't enough going on with it already...I decided to do some stitching in black. I thought about using Red or Yellow but Black really seemed to complete the look. What do you think?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now for the really fun part! This marks my 100th post!!! I can't believe I've yapped this much already!(Ok, 100 blog posts in like 3.5 months is crazy. I seriously need to get a life or something!) I hope you haven't been disappointed with my work. To mark this special blogging occasion, I've decided to run a giveaway! Whoo-hoo! I'll be extending it until next weekend because of my turn on the Let's Get Acquainted Blog Hop next Friday. Be sure to check out the posts for today!

ReplyDeletethat pillow rocks! I agree with your choice of black. I think that red or yellow would have taken away from it. Congrats on your 100th post! I'm already a follower (of course!). If you get a chance, you should share this awesome pillow at Needle and Thread Thursday!
