Waste not..want not!


 Several years ago, I don't even remember where!, I purchased a stool with a Bichon dog as it's cover.  Quite well made tapestry...well, I tried to stand on the stool one day and oops...crunched the middle of it.  Bob tried to repair and was going to add lumber/etc. to stabilize it.  I told him to just let it go and I removed the tapestry.  It's only 19" x 13".  But cute, isn't it!


So on New Year's Eve day (before all the college bowl games started!) I saw the tapestry sitting in my sewing room (out of sight...out of mind..hence, I keep my projects in the open!  HA).  I have thought about making a pillow with the fabric and I kept this old pillow from one of our previous bed spreads.  Perfect, right!


Of course, I had the perfect fabric that matched some of the blues in the fabric and used it for the backing!



And here's the new pillow!  I think it turned out cute!  Not sure where we'll put it but my first project finished for 2023 or is it my last project finished for 2022!!








She's sitting a little crooked but for now, she is sitting on top of my quilt case!  Which is decorated for Christmas!  HA
