Tooth Fairy Pillow

Several of Carmens classmates are starting to lose their teeth so I know its just a matter of time before she loses her first tooth.  I figured a Tooth Fairy Pillow would be just the ticket.
 
I combined my love of quilting and new-found love of hand embroidery to make this sweet house shaped pillow.  The front of the pillow is adorned with a bright and cheery yellow window (with tiny cherries), some lace under the roof and a door that opens up to reveal a compartment small enough for a tooth and large enough for a few coins for the tooth fairy to leave behind.
 
 
 


The back of the pillow is decorated with turquoise eyelash fringe and an embroidered image of a girl catching butterflies in her net.  Super cute!
