kitty pillows

I'm dealing with my I'm-not-in-Berkeley-any-more feelings by working on projects that I started while I was there. I unpacked and bought new dress shoes yesterday (which I'd planned to do before visiting Grand Junction last weekend). Today, I finished a project I'd purchased fabric for at Stonemountain & Daughter Fabrics: kitty-themed pillows!  This project also was my first (successful) attempt to make my own piping, which I used around the edges of the pillow shams.

The print reminds me of oriental paintings and a recent computer science preprint describing efforts to get computers to mimic these traditional styles.

button placement on the back of this pillow sham worked out really well--the happy cat has a ball of yarn!

KB - The pillows are really adorable. Love the fabric & button is perfect. What I can see of the piping looks great. Hugs - Mom
