Winter swap with Julianna

Long before Christmas we (me and Julianna at Sewing under Rainbow) decided to swap. Julianna wanted a pillow, I wanted something with a fox. She got the pillow already, so I can show it to you now (the photos are horrible; I didn't have a filling to put inside of such a pillow and it looks flat and wrinkled; also the photos are to dark). 

I made the pillow in two rounds. First I did the Christmas tree (it's made of tiny hexies) and pieced the snow on the botton. Then I left it for some weeks, not knowing what to do next. When I finally got the idea how to continue, I realised that the Christmas tree would look better if it would be pieced, but didn't have the heart to redo the whole background. I left everything as it was and appliqued the girl and the deer (all the datails on the girl and the deer is free hand thread painting; no painting on fabric this time ;) ). At the end I've sewn some cristal beads (they were suppose to look like Christmas lights) ans the star. All is quilted with invisible thread. The pillow measures 40x60cm (~16x24 inches). There is a wonky star pieced at the back, but I don't have a photo of it. I count on Julianna to make better photos ;)

Dlugo przed swietami postanowilysmy z Julianna (z Sewing under Raibow), ze czas na wymianke. Ona chciala poduszke, ja - cos z lisem. Poduszka dotarla do PL, wiec moge sie teraz pochwalic ;) Robilam ja w dwoch turach. Najpierw uszylam tlo ze sniegiem i naszylam choinke (zrobiona z malutkich hexagonow). Zostawilam tak niedokonczona poduszke na kilka tygodni. Brakowalo mi pomyslu, co mam dalej uszyc. Jak pomysl przyszedl po jakims czasie, okazalo sie, ze choinka bedzie tak srednio pasowala do calosci, ale szkoda mi bylo juz wlozonej pracy i zostawilam tlo tak jak bylo. Dziewczyna i jelen to aplikacje (dodatkowo przeszyte i wyhaftowane). Na koncu doszylam krysztalki (mialy wygladac jak sznur lampek choinkowych) i gwiazde. Poduszka jest przepikowana niewidzialna nicia (dlatego nie widac ;).
