Home dec projects appeal to everyone. Whether or not we have little ones to sew for, each of us has a bedroom where we seek a calm and quiet atmosphere, away from the demands of our busy days.
This model bedroom was done for the Springfield, MO,  Babylock dealer, BSewInn, by my friend Judy Day. Her unfailing good taste, skillful color coordination and attention to detail make this model bedroom a soothing refuge. It is both classic and contemporary.
There are several other items in this grouping, but they will be posted at a later date. There is so much meat in the pieces shown that any more items would make for a very lengthy post.
Judy has incorporated many unique details in the components of this room. The embellishment on each of the two pillow sham styles were  creatively coordinated. The powder blue shams with Swiss embroidered ruffles were monogrammed on a lacy square which was then appliqued in place.
The color contrast generated by the single robin’s egg blue sham is further enhanced by the touches of lime green in the embroidery.d
The tucked fabric adds textural interest while the lime green neckroll pillow gives just the right amount of punch to the grouping.
embroidered, covered button
Judy has gone a step further by embroidering a richly textured design on the neckroll pillow button cover.  The lime green fabric is already textured, but with the addition of piping and braid, it is full of interest. With the sculpted whole cloth quilting pattern,  silky tucked sham fabric, lacy monogrammed square, braid and embroidered button on the neckroll pillow, she has given this bedding a riot of textures. It make me want to touch each piece.
pillowcase embroidery
The embroidered monogram on the sheet, just in front of the neckroll pillow, is bracketed with motifs. This seems to extend the monogram to the exact width of the tucked pillow. Very pleasing. This, of course, coordinates with the design on the pillowcases.
Perhaps my favorite detail of the entire grouping is the embroidery on the corners of the quilt. The purist in me would resist such decorative stitching on a hand quilted heirloom bed cover, but the very popular and lovely machine made whole cloth quilts so readily available today are another matter.
Judy has chosen a design that coordinates with the motif on either side of the sheet monogram. Again, she has included just the tiniest bit of lime green in the embroidery, which reminds me of salt in a good soup–just enough to improve the product without overwhelming it.
Thanks, Judy, for sharing your beautiful bedding projects.  They have given me a wealth of inspiration.
