Work in Progress-Popsicle Pillow
I took a break from my bigger projects to work on a summer-themed project this week.
Don’t you love popsicles in the summer?
For this little pillow, I cut out the simple shapes and tacked them down with a little glue. I layered the fabric on a piece of light-weight batting before zig-zag stitching around the raw edges. This is a very informal way to appliqué. I use it for experimental pieces and for quick, casual projects.
Once the pieces were appliquéd, I did a little free motion quilting to complete the pillow top. (See The Circle free motion quilting tutorial HERE)
I will finish this pillow with piping and a simple quilted back…
Sweet dreams! (or sweet Dreamsicles!)

Some days simple is enough!
Your popsicle quilt pillow is perfect. I love it. The colour are fresh and cheerful. Well done Lori.
Just a fun summer diversion!
This is such a sweet project, lovely!!
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
very cute!!
Cute popsicles! It’s popsicles year round at my house. For some reason my husband loves them and will eat them one right after another, even in the middle of winter. At least in the summer they are usually on sale!
My family eats them year-round too–they especially like bomb pops!
Those popsicles are are adorable! I love the dots that you quilted in the background too. We are going through a revello phase in our popsicle consumption right now.
I had to look up “revello popsicles”–they look delicious! I’m sure my clan will love them!
What a cute summery project :).
Love everything about this lovely little project. And thanks so much for sharing all your wonderful work – I’ve learned so much since “discovering you” a few months ago. Best regards.
So glad you found us!
Amazing – I really like it, beautiful quilting and photos!
This is so cute. You’re applique looks great!
What a cute fun project! Let’s hang on to summer for as long as we can 🙂
Summer started so late, I sure hope we can extend it as long as possible!
