Raggedy Pillow project...from 2016

Once I got started on the Raggedy Trilogy, it seemed that ideas kept coming to mind for use of the fabric leftover from the quilt.  I decided to do a pillow of Raggedy Ann and had worked out the front in increments which were stacked in order using Heat.N.Bond lite to attach for applique. I found some eyelet lace in my mother's stash from the 1950's when she had made my sister and I costumes to celebrate our city's Sesquicentennial...a happy and sentimental addition. Why not?

 I found the perfect buttons for Ann's eyes in Mother's button jar, too. Having gone this far, I decided this project was just the right size for me to try my hand at prairie points. (I like to start small with first attempts.) Once that was done, it seemed the pillow might be turned over from time to time, so since it was easy to imagine the back side of Ann, nothing to do but forge ahead...or behind, in this case.

The Prairie Points had worked out fine for the front, but the back asked pretty please for peppermint-like yoyos. So, okay. That's what it got for asking so sweetly.

Could I do all this again? I kind of think not. That's the way of inspired works, it seems.
