Palmettos and Lilly

I love the way this pillow came out. There are actually two of them. An old coworker from my marketing days asked me to duplicate the SC Palmetto. There was a bit of a challenge for me. The room is a beautiful robin's egg blue and she thought she might want the pillows to be blue, too. But as I kept thinking about it, I thought they might fade into the walls. We definitely wanted them to pop. So we agreed on tan for the palmetto against a white background. I used "Aqueous" for the embroidery (POP!) and the same Robin's egg wall color for the back. That was such a fabric find. And I finished it off with this sage green and blue patterned fabric I found in my stash for the custom piping. It all came together in a Lilly Pulitzer kind of way. Who doesn't like Lilly? Her fabrics just make you happy. These pillows just make me smile.
