Seahorse Pillow

I wanted to make a pillow to coordinate with my teal and beige seashell bedspread...

this is what I worked with

I found a clipart that I cut out...adhered it to Heat N Bond-Lite....I was not

too happy with the Heat N Bond...It did not really adhere well to the fabric....

What I wanted to do was iron the seahorse on the fabric and then stitch around

the applique....I used a burlap-like fabric for the pillow and a batik for the seahorse...Instead of stitching around the applique I applied Tulip Slick, a

dimensional fabric paint that secured the edges to the fabric.....

This is the finished pillow....
