Ambrosia Yo-Yo Pillows

Posted on 2 Comments

I just finished sewing two version of my Yo-Yo Pillow in Ambrosia. Here is the Summer version:

And here is the Spring version:

Adding some decorative buttons can make your pillow’s back just a pretty as its front! Here are some detailed shots:

You can download the pattern here. Ask your local quilt shop to order Ambrosia by Robert Kaufman (it is shipping October 1st) or use scraps from your stash.

Special thanks goes to my model/assistant/daughter made all the yo-yos and kept me sane when I couldn’t find the phone in the chaos!

Special thanks also goes to my other assistant/son who made these Ambrosia paper-airplanes for me.

I would like to point out that it is not every fabric designer who gets personalized paper airplanes made for their collections.  I am a lucky lady.

My complimentary Ambrosia photo album pattern is now available so stop in at Target and snatch up those brightly colored linen 9″ x 7″ albums for the bargain price of $7 each. (You can also use other albums or scrapbooks with a similar size – I explain how to adjust for this in the pattern.) You can use either Ambrosia Fat Quarter Bundles or Ambrosia fabric scraps to complete the quilted cover.

Ask your local quilt shop to order Ambrosia by Robert Kaufman; it will be shipping to stores October 1st!

Thanks!

You have to dress the part…

A girl simply must have a skirt to match her photo album(s). She might need two skirts to match two albums. Or maybe three would be better. After all, we have scraps to use! (The third Ambrosia quilt went to the quilter this weekend and I am moving on to number 4, which is the Robert Kaufman complimentary pattern that will be available here and at your favorite shop.)

So this weekend we revamped the “Twirly Skirt” pattern and made up samples in the Ambrosia spring colorway

and the Ambrosia summer colorway

Do you think she needs a matching barette?

Then we made a skirt using Robert Kaufman’s Mimosa fabric by S.E.I. because it matched my model’s rose leotard perfectly. Oh no – we don’t have a matching album!

My very good-natured (and also very captive) model put up with me taking pictures of her in the 105 degree heat. Thanks, model!
