Coveting Pillows
February 28, 2008
I have been coveting these pillows since early January. I call Pottery Barn the Evil Pottery Barn because they always have something I can live without. Like these pillows. Bill told me I could go ahead and get them since he’s not in love with the pillows we have. Our current pillows are very low on the cuteness factor. Even though I had the “ok”, I’ve held off. Partly, because I got inspired by this other pillow, this one and these other pillows. And partly because these pillows are cheap (but very pretty!!).
They are two very distinct looks, but I’m leaning towards handmade pillows. I ordered fabric (yay! an excuse to buy more fabric!). I have to get my pillow forms this weekend. The fabric arrived yesterday and I’ll prep it today so that I can work on my pillows this weekend.
What do you think of my palette? (Click on the thumbnail for the full picture)

About Me
Welcome to my spot on the web where I talk about needlework, crafts, and [many] other random things.
A few tidbits about me: I met my husband in college, flirting over tuba letters in the Penn Band. Our dog, CJ, and our cat, Sabrina, round out our family. I'm a sewist, knitter and needlepointer, and an occasional scrapbooker. I love organizing, reading, making jewelry, and hiking. A Chicago girl at heart, I am an avid follower the Cubs, Bears, and Blackhawks.
