Pillows, Pillows, Pillows...

I had this wild hair last night to make some pillows. I've had the chenille and the cutter quilt for quite some time and I always snatch up vintage sheets whenever I see them, too.


I dyed the chenille with teal dye. It was previously white. I love how it looks with the red and white polka dots!! The rectangular pillow in the middle is going to my bestie, Jenny, all the way across the US.



Here is a close-up of her. The pink chenille is original and I've had it for a while. We used some of it for Lilly's crib skirt and a lampshade. That was over 6 years ago. Wow, how time flies!! I still have a bit of it left so I decided to pair it with the blue chenille and quilt. I found the vintage red pompoms at a yard sale for only 10 cents for a big bag of it!! I love the way this one turned out!!






Here is the back view...




Here is another pillow I made. I used a scrap of a quilt top for it.


The back side got vintage sheets. Simple envelope style pillow covers are so easy and a fun way to add more texture and color!!



One last pillow...I made this one from burlap and osnaburg for my friend, Amy's birthday. She also collects blue jars and bottles, so I grabbed this one when I saw it at an antique shop.


Don't you just love how pillows can transform a space?? Should I put them in my pityfully empty Etsy shoppe???
