So, here it is. My rendition of the astor manor pillow from Moda Bake Shop. I think it turned out really great. I did not have a matching jelly roll strip, so I used a scrap that I had and although it doesn’t match, I think it is really fun and complementary. I also didn’t use jelly roll strips for the ties. I just cut some honey bun strips that were left over from the front and sewed those on with the raw edges. I also used vintage lace instead of rick rack. I think it looks adorable. My pictures didn’t turn out really fantastically, but they are ok. They look like two different pillows but I think the flash made the fabric on the back look too light. It is actually the same white with pink dots as the from. I think I’m going to make another one. Believe me, I have plenty of materials to. Now, where to put it? I’m thinking the guest bedroom. Hmmm….

Pillow turned out GREAT! Every bite as nice as the Moda one. I like the contrast of the back, very springy. Super job!!!!
Hi Erica, The pillow did turn out great. I thought it was two different pillows at first. Both sides are so pretty, if it was mine I would have to set it one way one day and on the other side the next day. Great Job. I really like it.
I think I forgot to tell you that I finished another unfinished project, and have a Christmas present done already. I did break down and order something new which I am working on now.
The pressure is down in my eye, I just hope that the vision will improve. I want to keep crafting. It just takes me longer to get anything done, but I will keep working at it.
Happy crafting
Love You
