Heirloom Neckroll Pillow
presented by Connie Palmer

Beautiful vintage bed linens adorn antique shops and antebellum homes throughout the South.  To add to an ensemble you have or to begin a collection of your own Connie has designed a stunning Neckroll Pillow using your sewing machine.  With the use of those wonderful accessory feet, puffing strips are a snap and to give heirloom a new twist instead of lace on either side, Spaghetti Bias is used creating a new technique for the heirloom enthusiast.  This technique in association with a little machine embroidery and 100% cotton netting appliquéd in the center gives this pillow the look of handwork with the speed of using your machine.  Tiny piping and double face satin ribbon complete this wonderful heirloom accent for your bed!
