Now that my final exams are graded and my senior daughter has been accepted to the college of her dreams (yay!), I can relax and settle into some textiles.
I like to give handmade gifts for Christmas whenever possible, and made this last night for one recipient.
The embroidery is adapted from Alicia's book Embroidery Companion. I drew it freehand on fabric, as I prefer the freedom of not following a pattern. The rest of the pillow I measured as I went along.
The blue is Liberty of London and the othe two fabrics come from Purl Soho, but I do not remember their manufacturer.

Lucky recipient -- that's a gem of a pillow, and I'm very impressed you whipped that up in a day. Congratulations to your daughter! That's such an exciting threshhold.
