How beautiful!! And I love the color change and your hemming… oh my!! I’ll need to try that one - I just love it. And I agree - much better than work 😊

I’ve really caught the pillow bug. I went down the rabbit trail making pillows and needed a small one to go with the Santorini Stars. So…I made my first window pane pillow topper last weekend with coordinating fabric. Then I signed up for beginning quilt classes. Lol!!!! One can never have too many pillows!

Haha!!!! I also have a cat who likes to be between me and my stitching so I totally get it. I just keep a lint roller handy and keep on stitching. 😊

How absolutely lovely!! So beautiful and thoughtful.

I’m a bit addicted to the pillows as well. They are all so beautiful!! Your finish is so lovely and I agree, it reminds me of Christmas too. Just wonderful!!!

Matching borders are always a reason for celebration!!! It’s looking great!

How exciting!!! There are just not enough hours in the day for stitching! So many projects!! This is on my list too and it’s so hard to go to work when there is so much amazing stitching to do and cushions to make. 😊 Keep us posted on your progress.

Welcome to the Courtyard! I have found Krista’s designs to be quite addictive so I’m sure this is just one of many you will stitch. I have a cabinet in my stitching room dedicated just to Avlea haul (lol). Be sure to post your finished product. Happy stitching 😊

The Aegean Octagon was very meditative for me. No color changes and a repeating design.

A package from Avlea is definitely happy mail!! And Krista ships so quickly. Love, love , love the happy mail!

Beautiful stitching!!! The monochromatic pieces stitch really fast. I’ve noticed that changing thread color slows me down.

It only took a month of off and on stitching. Unfortunately work really cuts into my stitching time. The hem took one evening and stitching on the lining took another evening. But so worth it. I love the effect and how it lays on the table - it feels sturdy. I’m now working on the Primrose cushion - loving it!!!

The pillow designs are now available for purchase!! Yay!!!!

Just ordered the pillow kits. I need more stitching hours. I absolutely love these new pillow designs!!! Your Skandari diamonds are so beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful!! And your hem is lovely. And now I need to add this bitkit to my list.

The shows are archived on the YouTube channel: Fiber Talk and also on the website: wetalkfiber.com. I found out about Avlea from the Fiber Talk show. I’m loving the designs and how nice it is to decorate with the table runners and pillows. I am looking forward to the new pillow designs!!

Next project…the Aegean Octagon Table Rubber in blue. I’m using this as my meditative stitch during Zoom meetings :). I am so excited about the new pillow cushions coming next month - I may put aside my other WIPS and start another pillow cushion. Hoping Krista will have an Appleton wool version for the arts and crafts flower pillow cover that I don’t know the name of (hint, hint). It will look perfect on the living room sofa.

How beautiful!!!
