The pillow’s finished and proudly sitting in the family room! This Tom Turkey block is from an older Lori Holt tutorial . There’s a newer version available with pieced feet, a beak and longer wattle in the Gobble Gobble pattern from Fat Quarter Shop. The free version was fine for me. 🙂
My turkey block is 12-1/2″ square. I added a 1-1/2″ border all the way around in the same background fabric. I sewed the turkey feet using a satin stitch (zigzag settings: SW= 3.0, SL= .4) in a medium/dark gray thread prior to adding the second blue border – which is 2-1/2″ wide. An envelope closure was used on the back. This 18″ pillow is stuffed with a 20″ pillow insert (’cause that’s what I had on hand).
