Pillow Talk : :

Throughout this past week a few little pillows were made that I thought I would share before I get too ahead of myself with other wips in the works. This one, made from Innocent Crush, is the scraps leftover from my patchwork desk mat. This was the first project that I have ever made that turned into zero waste right away -- Love that! I am not sure how it happened, but it worked out beautifully!

This one couldn't have been easier! Made of just a solid Joel Dewberry print on the front and an envelope style back in a coordinating solid. I thought that if I cut this fabric into smaller pieces for something else it might lose the wonderful pattern of those large dogwood blossoms. I decided to leave it alone and keep it simple. This pillow and the above are for my sister in Hawaii. (Love you Catherine!)

This little pillow I knew I had to share, since so many of you seemed to like our Sewing Buttons 101 project from earlier in the week. Isn't it sweet? It is the result of Haila's button tree, that just happens to be the right size for her puppy, that she named "pupperly?" I will be the first to say that all of my children are very creative, when it comes to naming stuffed animals....ahhh, not so much. : )

And finally, the finalists for February's Blogger Pillow Party were announced yesterday and I made the cut again this month with my purple stitches pillow! Hooray!!!

All of these pillows have inspired me so much, so I bet you can guess what I'm making a few more of this weekend. I hope some of our pillows might inspire you, too!
