sleep tight





This gorgeous pillow was a birthday present from a dear friend. I photographed the pillow to put on Instagram. (Which is something I didn't do until today. I've never been very satisfied with the quality of these pic- they don't do the pillow justice!) I realized that this would be a great thing to share with all of you as well, as it really is like a fabric sampler pillow- very much like what we are making. It is a great inspiration piece for this swap.

She pieced together bits of vintage linens, embroidery, fabrics and trims, to which she added what I like to call her "Heidi magic". I took a closeup of one side of the pillow so you can see the brilliant assortment of fabric "tags" she added.

Heidi creates the most beautiful things! Many of you have swapped with her and have experienced her talent firsthand. She no longer actively blogs, but you can find her on Instagram at #heidisuewallace. Talk about inspiring!

Tomorrow- back to my mini sampler in progress.
