5 out of 5 starsThis is a gorgeous pillow with a beautiful saying. I am certain that our friend will absolutely love it! Carol, the seller, expedited the shipment so I received it within days of placing my order which significantly decreased the stress of hoping I would have it prior to the 100th birthday. This is so special I know she will love it!

5 out of 5 starsMy sister and I both purchased pillows after our mother passed and couldn't be more pleased. What a beautiful way to remember a loved one. Carol (the vendor) was very prompt, responsive, and kind. Highly recommend.

5 out of 5 starsI’m so happy with the pillows I purchased for my daughter and nephew. My MIL passed away shortly after they were born. I got pillows with their names from cards in her handwriting along with pictures of her. It took forever to get here, but that is because the post office was so backed up due to the pandemic and holidays. I’m so pleased with my purchase and will probably be ordering one for my Mom in my grams handwriting. My husband didn’t know I ordered these and he loves it so much.

Carrabelle
I choose Carrabelle for my shop name because-- when I opened it, I thought it was where I'd retire. Well I am retired and FT etsy artist.
I've been sewing since I was 5, made my wedding dress and my kids clothes -- then took a break. I fell back in love with my craft when I bought my first embroidery machine.
I love customs. My proudest reviews are when customers use my hands and tools to create OOAK gifts.
My mission is to make your gift a memory.

Tell me about osnaburg
I love using osnaburg fabric. Its a natural heavily woven cotton. It has a nice texture that many compare to linen or burlap. Many of my designs are very dense, and it takes the stitches better than a flat fabric. Sometimes there is a random thread that doesn't take the color or bleach.Just like you'd see in linen or burlap. There aren't a lot of them, sometimes we won't see one in a project, other times you'll get one or two. They are super small, visualize a single thread woven in about an inch of the fabric. The fabric may also have a slub, this is not a snag, with a hole as if you snagged a sweater. Nature doesn't create cotton uniformly and most embrace the organic look. Neither are flaws.
