Making Pillows

A while back I mentioned I was on a mission to make pillows for my couches. The first ones ended up on my porch. The second attempt became a tutorial but doesn't really fit on my family room couches. They say the third time's a charm and I guess that's the case here as well. I finally got my pillows made.

We still need more, I like all of the bright color, but at least these are a start. Notice there is no ball fringe? Rhubarb was eating the balls off my last pillows, even though I would have ball fringe on pretty much everything, I realized that it would be detrimental to my pillows.

Have a great day,

Painted Pillows

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,

Pillows

Hello,

I posted pictures of these pillows last year just after Quilt Market. Since we were looking at the new pin cushion kits yesterday. I thought it would be nice to revisit these. I made these pillows just the same as I did the pin cushions. Actually, I made the pillows and then I thought a smaller version would be a super cute pin cushion. That's when "Pin Party" was born.

I am a sucker for these felt balls, who doesn't love multi-colored polka dots? Okay there are probably a few of you who don't, but there can't be many, they make you smile.

Have a great day,

Pillows

Here they are...finally. These are the pillows I made for Quilt Market. For some reason, my photo didn't make it to my computer when I took pictures at the show. I love these and they went straight to my family room when I got home. I love the felt balls sewn on the side and I guarantee you will be seeing more of that in future projects.

If you got my Holiday newsletter this week you found the instructions for a miniature pillow just like these. It's not for your couch though, it's for a pin cushion. I will save those photos for another day.

Have a good one,
