PATRIOTIC PILLOW

After completing my patriotic geranium wool applique block, I couldn't get the idea out of my head of using it on a pillow cover.  It would just be too perfect!

So I gathered together a pillow cover and some Chalk Couture transfers for my project, and here it is:

There's even a design on the back of the pillow!

Below is a photo of the pillow cover before the pillow form was inserted:

After transferring the Chalk Couture designs onto the pillow cover and setting the ink with my Cricut Easy Press, I was ready to stitch the wool block onto the cover.  Although this project took a bit longer from start to finish than a lot of projects, each step was easy to accomplish.

ETA:  Some of the Chalk Transfers that I used for my pillow are either retired or currently unavailable.  Since I've had a few questions about what those transfers looked like, I am posting photos below.  From the photos, you can tell how wonderful it is to mix and match images from assorted Chalk Transfers.  The images featured on my pillow are circled in red:

Couture Ink colors used:  Candy Apple Red, Shimmer Gold (paste is shown in
