I was making this pillow from scratch so I purchased a 12"x16" pillow form and the white cotton fabric to make a cover. I pulled out my sewing guide - Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts: Basic Techniques for Sewing, Applique, Embroidery, Quilting, Dyeing, and Printing, plus 150 Inspired Projects from A to Z
Then I picked three print fabrics that look good together and could be used for 'trees'. Walking on the crazy edge of crafting, I just cut out three triangles without using a template and hoped for the best. I didn't worry too much about perfectly straight lines.
Because the pillow cover was already sewn together, I chose to glue the trees and stumps directly on the pillow using Dritz 6.51 Ounce Quilting Spray On Heat Set Adhesive
this looks great! and what a great way to use up some remnants one might have. stopping over from polly want a crafter.
