Embroidered Bolster Pillow

I have been wanting to make a bolster pillow for my guest room for a while now. 

 A few months back I made pinch pleat drapes for the guest bedroom.

I had enough fabric left to make a bolster pillow cover.

When I got my new embroidery sewing machine for Christmas,

 I knew that I wanted to use it on this project.

I embroidered the word "Dream" onto the fabric.

I made decorative cording using grosgrain ribbon.

Here is the end result.  

I'm still getting the hang of the new embroidery machine.

I have to figure out how to hoop the material so that the

words appear exactly where I want them.

I probably should have made the font slightly smaller 

so that it would fit exactly in the cream section.

Since I was so focused on getting the embroidery just right, I missed the fact that I somehow didn't center the pattern.  Ugh!!  But that's the perfectionist in me.  Overall I love how it came out.

I used the same technique I have used before.

It's a perfect finish to the guest room bed.

Can't wait to hear what you think.
