OK, the pillow is finished! I used batting and merino very sturdy but soft. The back is a brown fabric  and some random felt sewn on the machine.

Got a great deal at Jo Ann Fabrics today. I went there to get some ribbon for the hat I have been finishing and of course there was none to be had. While leaving the store I thought to look at the purse hardware to see just what they had.

Low and behold there was a clearance on everything so I made a score on the hardware and may have to go back. Plus they had a 25% discount!! TA DA!

Now I am looking forward to making purses and bags. I just love it.
