I underestimated the time I would need to complete my scrappy projects from the Pieceful Garden kit scraps. But I did get one of the scrap projects done last night. It turned to be a not-so-scrappy looking 24″ pillow:
The pride and joy of my pillow is the fabric yoyo! I have never made a yoyo before. But I was really inspired by what Arlette has done with her yoyo’s. So, I decided to give it a try. I thought it turned out pretty good and added a little something to the overall look:
Many of my whimsical friends wanted to get in the photo shoot for the pillow. They also wanted me to drag out some of the fineries in life as props. I think some of them just wanted to play with my breakables — you think French Loppie there got a bit carried away as he practically immersed himself in the teacup??!!!:

Thank you for coming to my show-and-tell today. I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed weekend. I will be back on Monday! See you then!!

Disclaimer – you will ONLY have the scraps left from Double-Nine-Patch blocks trimming the blocks for the scrap project. Anything extras you see in my scrap projects require extra fabric(s). You may choose to purchase more fabrics, or mix-and-match with other fabrics. The reason I used coordinating fabrics is because I had extra fabrics left from making the sample quilt for “The Quilter”.

The pillow is so lovely and look how nice it looks with your breakables and whimsicals. I like it. The yo-yo is a fun touch! Have a lovely evening..
I like the pillow design very much. Including your plush and figurine friends makes for a magical setting.
The pillow is so pretty!!! I’ve never done a yo-yo before…
The pillow is very pretty and I love that little yo yo in the middle. A creative friend has recently completed a quilt made completely of yo yo’s. It looks great and took all winter to complete.
Lovely pillow and yo-yo, the yo-yo really does add to the overall look of the pillow. Your little friends are having a great time, I’m sure French Loppie didn’t mind getting wet.
I don’t remember Scabiosa, (although Scabbies is a great way to remember them) I do remember them being called Pincushion Flower. That must be the one! Thanks for that.
I love that pillow!! And the little bear and bunny are too cute! They look like they need a little tiny quilt to curl up with — all of their very own! Any scraps left over for that? :-)
Wow! I would love to say something brillant here, but wow is about all I can think of. You do beautiful work!!
Beautifully made pillow. Love yo-yos! I have a yo-yo quilt made by my great grandmom from clothing, etc. from the 40s-50s. It’s falling apart, but still precious to me.
Your work is so beautiful! And congratulations on having one of your quilts being featured in the Quilt Magazine!
Love, Ann
Wendy, you are soooo cute! Finishing your beautiful pillow in one evening sounds like something I would do! It’s amazing! I love your layout with all of your friends, it makes me want to climb into bed and have tea with them LOL, but I really think we need to see the finished quilt and pillow together now, please :). Your yoyo adds the perfect touch Wendy!
Have a Fantastic Friday!
Kathi :)
Your talent is a gift from God! I’m in awe of your work.
Beautiful design and I love the quilt above! Congratulations for being in that magazine!

The sham and the quilt are both absolutely beautiful!!! What an amazing talent you have!!!
What a neat Show and Tell. And the quilt is beautiful.
I love the way you displayed the tea cups to show them
very cute.
Have a great day,
Sherry
Your pillow is lovely – I am so envious of anyone who can quilt, well, sew in general since I can barely manage a button on a shirt!
What a pretty pillow!
Beautiful pillow :)

Beautiful work! I love it.

Hi Wendy,
Oh! your pillow and yo yo turned out beautiful! You inspire me to get something creative done in one evening!
I so enjoyed your tea party around your lovely pillow! I’ve yet to try making a yo yo–I sure want to, but already have too many irons in the fire. I have a vintage bed covering made entirely of vintage fabric yo yo’s. I’ll have to post it one of these days.
Enjoyed!
Blessings to You!

I really like the fabric yo-yo that you made!!! It’s really pretty and cute. And it definitely caught my attention when I first saw the pic.
