Green Man Applique Throw Pillow Cover

Description

The Green Man, here to celebrate the first days of summer with us!

His foliate face is an applique'd creation in green with olivey-brown and black leaf fabric. He is made of of 5 layered pieces, not counting his eyes. Then machine applique'd in a zigzag stitch with dark green thread around each piece on an off-white tone-on-tone cotton fabric.

A coordinating green leaf fabric border, which is the same fabric as the mouth. Hand-made edge piping matches the main applique fabric. Backing is another coordinating green on white fabric. Fully lined inside both front and back (front with interfacing, back with muslin).

All 100% cotton quilt-quality fabrics, and interior seams reinforced with zigsag edging to reduce fraying. This was a lot of work, but I am very pleased with the finished masterpiece!

14.5" square, with rounded corners.

Fits a 14" or 15" square pillow form, available at your local craft/sewing store or Target/WalMart type store. You can also use it to cover older throw pillows that need a facelift!

Envelope style back for ease in inserting or removing pillow for cleaning. Best to hand wash cool water, or spot clean (but it will probably hold up well in a short/gentle/cold cycle).

Convo me for YOUR custom pillow, quilt or quilt blocks!
