Gorgeous Red Flower Ring Bearer Pillow

This Red Flower ring bearer pillow pictured below was the 10th or 11th that I made, the third in the flower series with which I have become quite enamored. It started as a sketch, a couple of failed flower attempts, and finally a sucessful way to get those petals to behave!  I love the quilting process of the petals, in particular, as quilting has been a large part of my sewing experience.  I doubt there is one family member or friend whose baby hasn't been swaddled in one of my baby quilts! The beading process is also relaxing for me, and relates to my experiences making jewelry.

This pillow measures 7"X7 &3/4" in a slight rectangular shape. The center of this red pillow made of poly satin is decorated with an exquisite, hand quilted, eight petaled red satin flower. The red 1/16 inch ribbon which is meant to securely tie your precious rings to the pillow is eight inches long, is accented on the ends with three iridescent pink/red beads and a red glass flower bead. The center button is hand covered with red ply satin and has had three kinds if beads hand applied-a row of silvery-gray hematite, iridescent pink/red beads and a matching red glass flower bead.
