Work in Progress-Popsicle Pillow

August 7, 2013

Popsicle Pillow Applique

I took a break from my bigger projects to work on a summer-themed project this week.

Popsicle Pillow Applique

Don’t you love popsicles in the summer?

Popsicle Pillow Applique

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!)

    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!
