ferris wheel epp...

Great News! My dad went home from the hospital Thursday and is doing great! I think some of the nurses were glad to see me go. There were some really great ones, but then there were some that I had to remind to give medicine or at least write his pain medicine info on the board so he knew when his next dose was. One night no one gave him his medicine at all. Seriously?! Oh well. More good news....

Ferris Wheel EPP pillow

I was able to finish another EPP project and I think this one is my favorite EPP project so far...

Ferris Wheel EPP pillow

I love the bright colors of Summerville with the black Essex linen.

Ferris Wheel EPP pillow

For the back I used the remaining charm squares and then a folded piece of the linen in 1/2 and added button holes. Totally makes it a double sided pillow, eh?! I didn't layer or quilt the patchwork back, but now I kinda wished I did. Dang. Because the squares are from a charm pack, the edges are finished with pinking sheers so hopefully they won't unravel too much. I always use my serger to finish the seams on the inside of the pillow if I'm not binding it, so I think it will wash up okay.

Ferris Wheel EPP pillow

I machine quilted the Ferris wheel part to the linen then I hand quilted around the wheel using embroidery floss in four different colors. I used 1 1/2 inch hexagons, 1 1/2 squares, and 1 1/12 inch equilateral triangles. I cut all my shapes on my silhouette using cardstock. I really need to get some perle cotton so I don't have to separate the threads. I HATE that part!

Ferris Wheel EPP pillow

There is a ferris wheel Flickr group, too! It was fun to look at all the pictures to find some inspiration. I hope you give this one a try!

    Beautiful pillow! I have never tried EPP, but your pillow has inspired me to try!

      Hey Paula! I am in love with this linen! I have a few yards stashed away! The button back didn't take that much longer than regular envelope closures so you must try it out! I find that if I don't put some type of closure (button, zipper, Velcro) then the back starts to bust out a bit. Thanks for the visit!!
