Arts shows and events have recently started asking applicants to submit detailed photos of their work in progress. It's an effort on the organizer's part to ensure that vendors are actually making the art they're selling, but it's also a great exercise for the artist to document the process of creation.
These photos show a few images of me making a vintage postcard pillow, starting with enlarging and copying the original image onto fabric; selecting accent fabrics and/or quilt blocks; cutting, pinning and stitching the pillow front together; adding embellishments such as ribbon, buttons or beads; hand-quilting the cover; adding the envelope-style back and stuffing it all with a standard 16-inch square pillow form.
