Happy Thanksgiving Felt Pillow

Thanksgiving is only two weeks away, dear friends.
I don't do a lot of decorating for this holiday,
but I do like to add a few decor touches here and there.

I decided my rocking chair needed a little Autumn and Thanksgiving love

so I made a felt pillow that sits sweetly on the chair.

All you need:

 felt

 embroidery floss

sewing needle

scissors

batting

button

sewing machine

Thanksgiving stamp

ink

scrap  fabric

For the flower you will need to cut out four big petals

and four small petals.

The petals look like hearts with a straight edge rather than pointy.

Thread the needle and sew a running stitch through each petal.

Once all four petals are on the thread pull the needle through the first petal 

and pull tightly then tie a knot.

The flower should look like this.

Do the same with the small petals.

On the main piece of felt embroider a stem and sew on the leaves.

Then sew on the pumpkins.

The pumpkin stems were glued on.

I stamped 'Happy Thanksgiving' onto a piece of muslin fabric

and hand sewed the piece on.

The flowers were glued on.

They are "sturdier" that way.

And the button was also glued onto the center.

I used the sewing machine to stitch the pillow together

and as you can see the seam is on the outside - I like the look of the edges.

When you're sewing the pillow together don't forget to leave a small opening

so that you can fill your pillow with batting.

And that's all you have to do :)

May your day be full of many sweet blessings, dear friends!
