Tropical Winds - Again

Here is a second Tropical Winds pillow with the colors more appropriate to the theme. The design was inspired by satellite images of a Hurricaine in Florida with the colors representing the regeneration after the devastation caused by the storm.

Certification - First Phase

I am happy to report that I have successfully completed the first phase of the certification process!! Stay tuned for more...

Desert Turquoise

My third and final pillow required for certification is now complete! Christopher's inspiration for this pillow was a necklace with a center brooch of Turquoise with running Rhinestones being worn by a friend. The pillow's texture looks like stone after the punching and scribble stitching with both rayon and metallic threads. It is the first pillow that I have made that the outside fringe is custom made. I used several types of yarn, including ribbon yarn and metallic serger thread (Candlelight).

The certification process is almost over... I'll soon know!

Tropical Winds

This pillow was not one that was required for the Master Group. It is one that was developed when Christopher was watching satellite images of a Hurricaine in Florida where he lives. This is my version of it.

Exciting News!

In addition to working toward graduation to become certified teachers of Christopher Nejman's pillow techniques, there will be a punching contest with great prizes!!

All who graduate will be able to enter the contest which will be judged by some of the most well known sewing world folks! We don't know the project and we'll only have a short time to complete it....exciting but a bit stressful to even think about.

I'll think I'll just focus on graduating for now....

RA - Egyptian Sun God

This was the second pillow assigned from Christopher's book. It is quite large, but fun to do. The punching made the satin look like suede.
