Oh Kimberly! I just made my first pillow finish using your tutorial. Thank you so much. It turned out beautiful and I’m so happy with it. This will be the first of many. Thanks again for sharing your expertise. What a great community you’ve created.

[@tinageorge8759]

Thank Kimberly, this is perfect because I have stitched piece that I don’t have enough fabric to make a little pillow, so now I know how to make it beautiful!!!! Thank you again!!! 💚

[@joyfulhope4474]

Absolutely adorable. I must make one or two or three or...Lol. Great tutorial. This looks like the easiest way to make a pillow to me. I love envelope pillows. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

[@christinaderrico5159]

Wow you make everything look so easy!

[@momgrandma5496]

Patriotic music at the beginning, almost stood up and saluted. 🇺🇸 Pillow is a perfect finish.

How cute! Tfs. 👏🏻💕🇺🇸

[@paml2642]

I love this little project! The rick rack was a real nice touch. I sure didn't think you were going to be able to get that pillow form in there LOL! Thanks Kimberly. This is going on my make list for my very patriotic friend.

[@geriinglis9087]

It is good to stabilize the cross stitching by squaring it up and ironing some fusible interfacing onto the back. It’s a tip I picked up from Vonna Pfeiffer.

[@rebeccamills4673]

Wonderful video! Great idea to use the envelope method for the back on a small pillow! If you don’t have the correct pillow form size you need, you can always make your own with muslin and stuffing. I have made a few myself. Hope you keep showing cross stitch finishing tutorials. You’re doing a great job!

[@christycleary216]

Great tutorial. Cute pillow. Thanks for sharing.

[@ninagillenwater4502]

Very Cute!!! That would work for any of the smaller cross stitch pieces .....I think it would be especially cute on little Halloween pillows!!! Thank you, Kimberly!!!

[@sonjaharley1906]

How cute! Just received my stitch quarterly today. I am looking forward to stitching the flag and turning it into a pillow. Thanks for always proving well made items, all the tutorials and weekly flosstubes. I truly enjoy watching every week.

[@BrandiTalmadge]

So cute Kimberly! Thanks for the tutorial ☺️

[@jas2627]

Adorable

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Love it!! It’s perfect!!!!

[@terrilane2140]

Good musical selection FQS media team extraordinaire 🗽

[@rebeccaforbes8629]

Another way to get a really crisp corner is to stitch to 1 stitch from the corner, turn 45 degrees and take one stitch. Then turn another 45 degrees and stitch straight down the side. Do this at each corner and when you turn it, the corners will be really crisp. I also trim the corners, but with the stitch at the corner, there is still less fabric and the corners are wonderful. :)

[@marikeenen6775]

Great Tutorial . I just finished stitching my piece tonight . . . hopefully make the pillow soon !

[@cmholt7173]

You are the reason that I started making my finishes into pillows. THANK YOU

[@TheSerenityStitcher]

So cute!!!

[@stitchinglonestar6362]

That is so cute! Now that I know what is in the Stitch Quarterly kit and a couple of ways to finish it, I hope my kit arrives at my house soon!

[@mariastallman2759]

Very cute! I bought that pillow form when it was on sale but didn’t realize it was that small until I got it. Thank you for giving me something to use it for. It’s perfect!

[@juliannefrankie120]

So cute! Great job Kimberly!

[@grandmastraw]

How cute is that! I didn’t know pillow forms came in that size. Now I have to get stitching. Thanks FQS!

[@melindathompson2865]

Love this cute little pillow. 😁

[@janetseals1760]

Love this

[@reneeriley2145]

Great Job thanks for the demonstration Be Well !

[@kimezman8697]

Kimberly, I like how you make the pillows.

[@candykwedar1183]

Thanks for the tutorial. I enjoy all of your videos!

[@angelastoutenger7944]

Thanks for the tutorial. Cute pillow finish. I'm stitching along on my piece but it probably won't be done by this July 4th. I was getting so nervous when Kimberly was cutting the cloth. I'm always afraid of cutting too much and all that hard work will be ruined.

[@EMGcrafter]

I like how you made the backing! What a great shortcut to use the topping to cut to size!

[@chariprice]

adorable! I always love watching Kimberly make things :)

[@kaylowry4188]

Too cute 😃

[@ingemountain4054]

Very beautiful!

[@1sassyspunky]

Beautiful! Thanks for another great tutorial.

[@daniellehuggins6316]

I’ve been working on this; first time ever working on Lugana, too! I was trying to figure out how to finish it. I love this! I think I am going to give the pillow a try.

[@terrilane2140]

Thank you for this tutorial! Y'all are the best

[@littlequiltsong9576]

Beautiful!!

[@debbieweigle8420]

[@colleenisaac6647]

Is your design a different size from the quarterly piece?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Colleen! Kimberly cut a border around her completed piece and then cut the border so she could create the pillow

[@inezharrell4339]

Hello Everyone 😊👋 😊😀😀 InezArnetta Stay safe 12:46PM

[@jnettee3717]

I don’t understand, why all the fabric waste 😩

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Jnet! Kimberly uses her scraps for other projects. The fabric used in this video was scrap fabric from another tutorial.
