Hi All,
I have been looking high and low thru all forums, publications, etc for instructions for a ROSE shaped pillow made of velvet that I made at least 7 years ago. It was mainly a long triangle of velvet, coiled and hand stitched.
Does anyone recall where I might find these instructions?
Thanks so much,
Susan Day, Springfield, IL

Sorry no I just wanted you to know some one is reading you question.
It's lovely............let us all know if you find out.
But you could try googling " rose pillow instructions"
Rose Pillow of Velvet
Susan,
I searched rose pillow pattern and hit images-- easier to see if it was close to what you are seeking.
The closest I came was instructions for making a cabbage rose. I think the pictures assume you're using ribbon, but maybe if you do the velvet tube like you remember and use the instructions for the coiling of the rose--- I'd omit the wire in these instructions:

Here are a couple of other alternatives--- I suppose you could attach to the leaf instead of the pillow!

This one looks more like petals, but I included it for you.
