Sewing Fairy makes Flaxseed Pillows

What can help you be more comfy as the cold arctic air swoops down across the United States? 

A flaxseed pillow made with lavender and cloves that you can heat in the microwave! Pictured above are embroidered outside covers for flaxseed pillows that I made as a surprise for the DIVA's retreat. Don't they look divine? 

Sulky Rayon 40 wt thread used for the embroidery: 

• 568-Cinnamon
• 621-Sunset 
• 1021-Maple
• 1263-Red Jubilee
• 1181-Rust 

The art nouveau embroidery design is from the Husqvarna 6D Premier Embroidery System.  The fabric is Suede by P&B Textiles - 100% cotton. 

Finished pillow size is 9.5 inches x 5 inches with an inner lining that contains the flaxseed and herbs.  I used one pound of flaxseed mixed with 1/4 cup of lavender and about 10 cloves.  I'm still experimenting with the herb mixture.

Where did we go for our retreat?
