This is a pillowcase that I received from Cindy Needham. She has one just like it. We both decided to do our "own thing" with it just to see how different they both can be. I placed mine on an underlayment of pink dupioni silk. She placed hers on an underlayment that was a sort of gray-brown. And then we both used designs that were boutis inspired as our quilting designs. Cindy's pillowcase in the photo attached is not finished and still a work in progress but you can tell how it's going to turn out. Absolutely gorgeous! Of course I would have changed lots of things on mine - aren't we always like that? - least of which is adding the pink but each project is a good learning lesson.
Here is my pillowcase:
And here is Cindy's:
I did name mine Les Petite Rosaces giving credit to the boutis design that I used. Enjoy.
Hugs,
Karen

The word "stunning" really doesn't do your piece justice. Your ability to transform a pillowcase into this work of art is truly a incredible talent.
Incredible! How on earth do you decide on the designs, Karen? Your work is just amazing. :)
Your pillowcase is amazing Karen. I love the traditional boutis pattern that you chose. You gave both it and the antique pillowcase a new lease on life. And I think that the rose coloured silk is a perfect complement to the design. Beautiful work!
