Stacked Burlap Flower {on a pillow}

I have been in the process of redoing my bedroom. Again. This is a slow process, since I always have 12.5 million other things to do, but I have finally started on the accent pillows. The great unveiling will be the multi-media appliqued accent blanket that goes along with that, but I have been working on that for many many moons, and it isn't done yet...

so pillows it is.
I was looking at some ideas online, and came across this one on classyclutter.blogspot.com. I loved it, but since our supply of felt is NOTHING in this small, small town oh so far far far far from crafting civilization, I knew I would have to find something else. My go-to for most anything these days anyway is burlap, which I am fully enjoying a love affair with, to be honest. You can find it all over in my house, which I will show you soon enough.
Then I had one of those genius moments, and a few hours later, I had this finished:







Close-ups, to see the texture.






I love the texture it adds to my bed, and the shabby look of it, with the burlap threads coming lose here and there. Don't let your sweet kiddies get their little grubbies ahold of this...this pillow is for aesthetic purposes only-NOT PILLOW FIGHTS!
