The Pillow

Update:-

I've changed the title of this post
 as I'm getting a huge amount of spam.

Now, I usually don't have any spam,
so I'm wondering if it's the title
that's attracting the little buggers.

I'll keep you informed.

If you're not spam,
thank you for visiting my blog.


This isn't going to be a tutorial for printing with your inkjet printer using freezer paper. 

There are a lot of very good, very clear and very thorough ones about 

and adding another would just clutter up the internet.

The method is fairly simple. 

Cut a piece of freezer paper to the size of your printer paper.

Cut a washed, dry, ironed piece of white cotton 

slightly larger than the freezer paper.

Iron the shiny side of freezer paper to the cloth and trim the cloth to the size of the paper.

Put into the printer, making sure the cloth side will be the printed-on side

Hit "PRINT".

Peel off freezer paper.

Iron image to set.

See, no tutorial here!

My only comment would be to make sure

 the image you're using is nice and big 

with lovely crisp resolution.

This is Bouguereau's Madonna of the Roses

printed out onto a piece of  white lawn

and then sewn onto golden yellow cotton

and trimmed with lace and broderie anglaise.

(eyelet, to my USA cousins)

And here is a cushion 

for my lovely Mother in law

for Mothers' Day.

I hope you all had a wonderful Mothers Day.

Me, I ate a whole cheesecake
that my lovely, wonderful, bride-to-be
sister-in-law made for me..

And I'm not ashamed.
