This is my Valentine's pillow (which I'm not entering) but I'd never posted about. I was finishing up my Spinning Coins Quilt and I had leftover fabric (that I'm ridiculously in love with) and had to find a way to use it.
And here is my Spring Pillow
Originally I was thinking of an Easter pillow, and using a bunny instead of a deer. But then I realized I like deer more, plus it will be Spring and I can keep it out longer!!
I love my deer friend. I'm still playing around with her name. Any thoughts? :) I played around with how to design it, considering a white background and patchwork deer. Ultimately I liked how the deer stood out in white with the pink embroidery stitches.
I wanted the background to be scrappy, but in the same color palette so nothing really stood out. I believe there are 12 different fabric prints used. I just started with one square and started sewing and trimming! Came together really fast.
There you go! Check out the Pillow Party for plenty of cute pillows :)
We'll see you tomorrow for Fabric Tuesday and a great feature on Wednesday!

It is a sweet little deer. Would Bambi be TOO obvious?!Great pillow, good luck!
I love both of your cushions. I think the deer is a great alternative to a rabbit, I would call her Bianca..it means 'white'.
Dorian the Deer :D:D The pillow looks super cool. Love the pastel blues on the background!
If the little deer ever needs a new home, it would always be welcome at mine ;)
It is just so cute and the colours are beautiful! :)
Beautiful.....love them both!
Adorable! Isn't the pillow party fun?
Sasha. It just popped into my head as a name for the baby deer.
cute cute pillows!
Well isn't that just darling? What is the blue dot right next to the dear's mouth? I love it!
I am reallly in love with your little deer pillow!! The background is darling and your little white deer is soooo cute!
I really love your Valentine's Day pillow. I have some leftover fabric from a quilt I made my daughter. It's a super design. quick and easy. I will have to make one and add her first initial at the top instead.
Hi! Just stumbled across your blog and I am your newest follower! I've been sewing for most of my life, but I'm new to quilting and I can't wait to jump in with both feet! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
I do like it! So sweet looking.
I think if it was mine I'd be calling it Bambi. :-)
Those pillows are so cute!

Love, love, LOVE this. OMG, definitely one of my favorites. The background is just perfect to let the deer stand out. YEAH!
I love your pillows...the deer is so adorable, and the letters on the KISS pillow look perfect!
I love it! I am thinking of doing a woodland animal themed quilt for my baby due in June, so this is great inspiration!!!
This is so striking! And I am a sucker for blues. Love it!
