Just a quick blog post today since I’m buried in new projects. I’ve been working in Inspirations’ Vintage Embroidery Software and designed three different groupings. One is supposed to be a pillow but I’m having trouble deciding which one. I need your help but first, a little background on these on-trend stitches.
Vintage Embroidery software has hundreds of built-in designs that have been digitized to give an old world charm to your embroidery. The designs require a mixture of 15 wt. polyester and 40 wt. polyester thread. This unique combo gives a high-end retail look to your stitches. They’re so much fun to stitch because the designs are all low-stitch count designs in a minimum of colors so they stitch quick. With my busy schedule, I’m always looking for fast and easy with big results. Vintage fits that bill.
Before I proceed any further on this project, I thought I’d ask you – my fellow expert embroiderers – what’s your favorite grouping? Do you like the pink Vintage design Abs_0213_Ornamental_D?
The green Vintage design Abs_0259_Icon_D?
Or the blue Vintage design Abs_0024_Icon_D.?
Sometimes, I fall in love with all the samples and then, well, pillows become quilts. So help me stay on track and select one. Your vote counts!

Jan Homberger
2 years agoAll three are wonderful, but for a pillow, I like the rose because it fills the square. When I look at the other two, I felt that something was missing.

ROBIN L FARLEY
2 years agoI like the Pink because it fills up the front of the pillow. It’s also a very pretty pattern!
kate
2 years agoYou asked for grouping, I’d have to say the Pink grouping/design is the most attractive and eye appealing. thank you for us.
Anne
2 years agoPink!
Judy
2 years agoBlue- more professional look- adequate white space to rest the eye & enjoy all aspects of the design
marie
2 years agoLove the blue but all are pretty.
terry freeman
2 years agoI like the green Vintage design Abs_0259_Icon_D. it’s different. Seems I’ve seen the blue one or something very close and the pink is ok, but I’m not a fan of pink. perhaps in a different color
Jean
2 years agoI like the pink and the blue comes in as a close second.
Dalene Hokanson
2 years agoBlue
Janet Kirby
2 years agoBlue. The design itself makes this one stand out from the rest.
Kate Hartwell
2 years agoPink vintage then green
Annette Canonica
2 years agoI like the design on the pink one but the blue color looks more “vintage” to me. Guess it depends where your are putting your PILLOW!

2 years ago AUTHORSo true, Annette! But the beauty of stitching for a magazine is you design the room around the pillow. Not like real life where the palette is selected by the room decor.
BiBi Khan
2 years agoLove the blue.
Eve Hutchison
2 years agoThe blue one speaks to me, really pretty.
Linda
2 years agoI love the blue but that’s my favorite color but the blue looks like something I’ve seen on old vintage hankerchiefs.
Debbie
2 years agoI love the pink
Elaine Davis
2 years agoThe blue is definitely my pick!
Jan
2 years agoBlue, pink, then green!
Marti Morgan
2 years agoBlue first – the other two are hard to decide but I think I agree wth Jan above, pink then green.
Cindy Freeman
2 years agoI love them all, they will make phenomenal pillows. Why does it have to be one and not all? I like to make multiple pillow covers so I can switch them out as the season or mood changes. If I have to select one, the blue.
eileenroche
2 years ago AUTHORCindy, that’s a brilliant idea and really cuts down on the amount of pillows on a bed or sofa but still let’s you use a variety – just spaced over time.
Denice
2 years agoI like the blue for a pillow because it is the most complete single design. The other 2 designs could easily be part of a continuous border and therefore seem more quilt like to me.
Mary
2 years agoI love the blue for a pillow.
Alice
2 years agoBlue is my choice. Green is calling for something in the middle, maybe a monogram. Pink doesn’t do anything for me.
JoAnne
2 years agoBlue definitely
Karen
2 years agoPicking one is hard, but would say pink.
Mary Esser
2 years agoI pick the blue one.
Pam
2 years agoPink
Josie
2 years agoMy favorite is the pink one because it has a classic and classy feel to it. The green has too many shapes-round, oval, diamond and circles-so there it seems disjointed to me. The blue is pretty, but my eyes are drawn to the edge stitch around the hearts instead of the entire design.
Char
2 years agoBeautiful designs. I like the Blue or pink for the pillow.
Doree Shandera
2 years agoThe Blue design is my favorite but I would like it in a deep red
They are all fabulous designs.
Mary Lu Teruya
2 years agoThe pink
Susan
2 years agoAnother pick for pink
Kay Simolke
2 years agoPink!
Kay Bee
2 years agoThe Pink is the “warmest” one to me.
Vonee Davison
2 years agoBlue, I would love that design in most any color! A cream color would look very vintage to me.
Betty Smith
2 years agoAs I’m not a “pink” person my choice first was the green, the contrast with the background was just right. Second would be the blue.
Chris
2 years agoI love the blue!
Elizabeth Jane Cornett
2 years agoAbs_0213_Ornamental_D? IN THE BLUE COLOR
Debbie
2 years agoThe blue one is beautiful.
Royce Zook
2 years agoUse one with most “white space” as it is less busy and the eye will see the design without clutter. Blue.
Sandy Porto
2 years agoI like the pink and blue, but favor the blue
Kathleen De Verville
2 years agoDefinitely the Blue is my first choice, then pink. the green does nothing for me.
JD
2 years agoLove all 3 but will go with the pink one because it seems to cover the pillow area better than the other 2.
