I've been on a bit of a pillow kick lately. My couches are really boring and Rhubarb in her puppy days had a thing for ball fringe. So any pillow I had is long gone. I challenged myself to make a new pillow every month this year. That way I would have a eclectic collection on my couches. I started last month with my crochet flower pillow. It ended up on a different couch. Hmm....
But this month it's painted pillows! I painted up a bunch of different designs on canvas and then stitched them up with some black and white and ball fringe.
And for some reason these pillows look good on my porch. Hmm, again. Still don't have any pillows for my couch.
Maybe next months pillows will make it there.
Have a great day,

These are fantastic!! I love the bright fun colours :) These would make me smile walking into the room! Great job! Will you sell these in your shop? I think they would do well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marie! I'm just going to keep these for myself.
DeleteI love these! What a great idea... I also love the new look and layout of your blog. I know you changed it weeks ago - but just got around to letting you know :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn...just changed the website over as well.
DeleteLove them! They're so happy!
ReplyDeleteWhat type of paint did you use? The canvas must have been heavy to sew and turn. You artist skills shine through. I also love the pompom trim. Great job.
ReplyDeleteHi Terry,
DeleteI used acrylic paint and added textile medium to it. It comes in a jar in the craft section and can be added to any paint to make it good for fabric.
Jennifer, you have the happiest looking blog!! It made me smile right away today. I mostly do painted furniture, and have painted on canvas for some of my chair projects, but have been really wanting to do some painted pillows! Your post was just the inspiration I needed to get started. I have canvas,paint and a paint brush.....Lol and a free weekend!!!!!! Love love love your work, it is fabulous and right up my alley!
