Project 14.4 had us making a project inspired by books. I started thinking about the many books I've read. The most rewarding of them all was reading to my children when they were younger, and now to my grandchildren.

For my project I decided to make a reading pillow for my youngest granddaughters.
 |
I appliqued the letters to the pocket
|
I printed the letters on some
Steam-A-Seam 2 and followed the directions of simply peel, stick, cut and press. I did a buttonhole stitch using MonoPoly from
Superior threads as I know the pillow will need to be able to be washed without worrying about the applique ever lifting off.

Bright and cheery fabric for the front of the pillow.

| I added a handle at the top to make it easier to carry around |
The pillow is 16 inches square and I used a 14-inch pillow form to keep the pillow soft and comfy to snuggle up with a good book.
