I made my daughter a piggy lawyer pillow. It's no big deal, very plain and simple. But I wanted to show you the piping. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e212/DorothyLong/piping.jpg It is a flat piping -- no cord. I used bias cut (commercial) tape. I started with a wide I layered the narrower blue, leaving just a little red showing. I sewed the blue on one side, then the other side. I really liked the results and began thinking of what you could do if you cut your own bias strips and layered them mixing them such as stripes with dots or a tiny floral print. Dorothy |

I seem to be having trouble getting it big enough to see -- usually it is too big. I'll try one more time http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e212/DorothyLong/piping2.jpg Dorothy |

I didn't find that fabric, Jan, Patty(22) gave it to me. The pig has special meaning to someone from Moravia -- the village I just moved out of. I would explain it to you but Mary would be a little upset!! It will remind my big shot lawyer daughter of where she came from and keep her head from swelling. Dorothy |

Our minister is a Pigg...so he collects them. He'd love it. I also use the flat piping between colors on the tops of pillows. After making a full set of European throws and shams for my daughter's "bargain" comforter, she has asked for matching piped pinched pleated drapes to coordinate (that's this week's project). pam
