Sometimes the most simplest of projects are the ones that make me the most happy! And, look... something for little boys! Finally!!
My customer sent me photos of a pretty simple, applique quilt with a transportation theme to base these train pillows after. She plans to have them sitting in front of the headboard instead of shams. I think it's both a clever and extremely cute idea!
This was definitely a fun project for me!
I'm loving them all stacked up!
The backs are finished in a few of the Ruby Dot prints I just picked up from Skye Reve Fabrics. These teeny tiny dots are another great neutral. I love that Sundae print, too!
I hope there will be a happy boy on the receiving end of this weekend's pillow making!! I'm linking them up with Today's Creative Blog!
As for today, I'm hoping to make a dent in my new stack of felt!!
How about you, do you have any sewing plans for today?

Very cute, Maureen. It's fun to do something new. So, where do you get your felt from? What a gorgeous collection!
Love it! So adorable and for a boy. Great picture of Haila...a box is the best toy ever.
What a cute project. Great selections for the fabric. You are so talented. I'm new to your site.
Due to downsizing, I recently lost my desk job of 20+ years. It's all good though because now I get to do what I was meant to do. I am a creative person and I've got my creative juices flowing and you are such an inspiration to me!! You are so lucky to be able to express yourself through your creations. I aspire to be like that. Thanks for what you do :-)

Super cute! What a fun idea.
Those cushions are amazing, my boys would have loved them when they were younger! There is so little stuff around for boys.
That felt looks like fun!!
Thanks Joanne! My boys would have loved them, too, a few years ago! Oh, if only I had known how much I'd enjoy sewing. That's one of my big regrets!!
What a brilliant-cute idea! Absolutely adorable.
No sewing until the weekend, but then I'll finally finish the dreaded curtains for my sister. All four are hanging in my living room and bedroom atm, waiting to be hemmed. Can't believe I managed to sew three this past weekend. :)
Cute project. I am going to finish my Christmas Quilt wall hanging. Then after school I will continue to teach my DD (9) how to make a pillow. We have started sewing lessons with mom. She is a little daunted by my machine but she has a eye for design.
JUST ADORABLE!
HAPPY STITCHING + TEACHING!
They turned out perfect!!
Wonderful idea, these would look great in a "boy" quilt, too. I'm working on a patchwork, using Echo.
Oh my goodness! Your train pillows are beautiful and I just love the idea!
And all that felt in those amazing colours - oh!
They are the cutest!!!
They are adorable!! My youngest would go crazy over them since he has a train themed room!
These are just great...love them!! What a fun way to decorate a little boy's bed. ...and that is one amazing stack of felt...look forward to what you are going to create with it! TFS

Love the pillows, such a cute idea of the train mottif. I agree with the other comments. Girl what are you going to do with all that felt.
They are gorgeous so cute and happy :)
I'm loving all that felt! Where did you get it? There are some really nice colors in there.
What gorgeous cushions. When my boys were little I designs a set of wall hangings for them - trains, planes and traffic! There was very little available for boys back then, now thankfully, with todays designers, we are very well catered for.
This is one of the cutest ideas for pillows I've seen! You did a beautiful job on them!

Love the stack of felt! I am finishing cushions for a friend this week. As I sit here I am noticing some wear on the arm of my chair so I am starting to think about the huge task of making new chair covers.
These are so cute !!
I love the sundae print too. I bought a couple yards of my favorite colors because they are hard to find !!
Those really are adorable! I know my little guy would love them. And the dots are so sweet. Thanks for the inspiration!
