Finishing Ideas - Pillows


Finishing your needlepoint canvas as a pillow is a classic way to display your completed work. But that doesn’t mean it has to be predictable. Fabric, trim and embellishment choices will make your piece sing.

K is for krafted with a raw silk ruffle, moire silk fabric and a woven floral print. A monogram pillow never goes out of style and makes a treasured keepsake.

When is an ornament a pillow? When finishing gets creative! Three ornament canvases (the gingerbread girl-KCN30, house-KCN 48 and boy-KCN29) were combined to make a truly unique pillow. Tea stained red toile, red leaf print fabric, some ribbon, big vintage buttons and a lush tassel trim all come together in this fabulous bolster. Don’t you just want to eat this up?!

The Midnight Angel canvas (KCN 140) is shown here decked out with ticking stripes, mini checks and two colors of gimp. The red, green and tan looped brush fringe is luxurious. This just begs to be held and admired.

Mr. and Mrs. Baker Claus (KCN 128 & 129) are shown off by surrounding them with just enough glitz. Ruby red raw silk corners and gingham silk checks in mint and cream create just the right color combination for the season. The organdy and silk ribbon trim is a favorite.

Mr. Snowman gets in on the act by sharing some of the same fabric choices, but here we added a touch of denim. Hey, denim goes with everything, even raw silk. Gimp, gimp and more gimp completes the look. These three make a beautiful trio.
