Last week I shared with you my Word of the Year...which is FAITH. I then opened it up to all of my readers to share with me their word for the year and I would randomly choose a winner. The prize was not given, the only thing I told you was that it was something I would be making (I have to admit...I had no idea at that point).
I wanted to make something that would incorporate the word. Something that could be seen everyday by the winner and inspire them to continue their year long journey. So I settled on a pillow. I love the way it turned out...
To make it I used burlap fabric and cut out two identical rectangle pieces. I then cut out a small piece of muslin to sew onto the front. But not until after I painted the word on the fabric...
Then it was just a matter of sewing the two pieces together...being sure to leave a small opening to put the stuffing inside. Then I used a whip stitch on the outside to complete the pillow.
A few added embellishments and it was finished. Here is the one that I made for the winner Marietta Lamas...
Congratulations Marietta!! I hope that 2013 fills you with more strength than you ever knew was possible!! Sweet pillow-
