That seems to translate fairly well the words I stitched on the pillow for my sister's Birthday... Isn't it nice that it rhymes in both English and French?
This is so much FUN! I'm deciding everything as I'm going. There's appliqué, embroidery for the text, and the little flower in the top corner is a sample of silk ribbon embroidery - another cute thing I discovered when I was in the United States!
Here is a close-up on the silk-ribbon flower:
I've decided that all the pillow needs now before I sew it, is a little charm or button in the bottom corner that still remains empty. My LNS is still closed for the holidays but should reopen the day after tomorrow, and I'm sure I'll find a cute button there! Another alternative would be adding beads, but I'm not sure what kind of thread I should use...
I do think my sister will like it. I realize that for me, this was a much better option than to make her a top as intended at first - designing and sewing a top would have been much more stressful, and after the apple quilt I needed a fun project which I could feel I had total control over!
