My birthday was December 12th - the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I have had this fabric panel of the Our Lady of Guadalupe image for close to a year now. It was left over from one of our Little Flower's meetings, so I asked if I could have it. I figured I would do some bead work on it and then frame it, especially since I don't have an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe in our home.
Anyways, I came across the fabric panel the other day and decided I should finish it - my goal was to have it done in time for my birthday. As I was getting close to being finished I realized that I don't really have anymore wall space for anymore framed artwork. So I decided to make into a pillow. I had a scrap of black corduroy fabric that was just the right size. So I bought a pillow form, got out the sewing machine and measuring tape and - voila!
Now I have this pillow for my favorite spot where I pray in the morning. Plus, I can see it from the doorway every time I pass by this room. The light catches the beads just right and it gives off a little sparkle. (My little old camera just couldn't get a good close up of the bead work).
