Scavenging To Make A One-Of-A-Kind Pillow

I pick up items everyday from 

where I wander looking for elements

 for pillows.

I found this vintage needlepoint

 on eBay and the fabrics were

 pieces from my goods.

First, I start to pull pieces and measure and

 lay them out to make sure I have

 enough to do a pillow that will be 

sized right in scale with 

the needlepoint.

Pulling from my inventory boxes

 I try different fabrics,

colors and sizes of trim that

 will work with the needlepoint colors.

One of my attractions to this needlepoint

 was the date and initials

 of the person

who did the hand work on it.

This is the fun part for me...

the gathering and putting together of

all the pieces.

Here is the finished pillow and I know

that I will find the right

home for it when I list it

on eBay with a starting bid of $95.00.

 This became a one of a kind a pillow

 that I know someone will

admire for years to come.
