Capture the spirit of New Orleans with this French Quarter Pillow, where the vibrant French Quarter becomes the muse for a delightful and embellished home decor project. Inspired by the eclectic charm of NOLA, this sweet pillow features a medley of techniques that promise both creativity and flair.

 

Join us to explore a mix of hooped embroidery, twin needle pin tucks, a cleverly rotated stitch technique, machine embroidery, lace inserts, and a touch of hand beading. As a finishing touch, we'll indulge in the art of piping, adding a touch of sophistication to your creation.

Join Jill and stitch together this gorgeous pillow to liven up your home with the charm and spirit of NOLA, creating a unique piece that beautifully blends various techniques into a harmonious and stylish pillow.
