Fall Fair Isle Pillows are inspired by the traditional Fair Isle motives and modern designs of textured colorwork and whimsical home decor. Both pillows are worked seamlessly, in the round, with duplicate stitch embroidery embellishment for the pumpkin pillow. An applied I-cord edging frames the design and adds a nice finishing detail, as well as mimics the piping of the traditional decorative pillows.
