Christmas Pillows 1-2-3 : :

I had hoped to have that Felt Garland Pillow tutorial for you today to share along with this new Christmas Pillow, but I'm still working on it. Monday, I promise!!

Christmas Pillow with red piping

Keeping with my current love of all things polka dots, I made this new Christmas pillow. The center fabric is Michael Miller's Tiny Trees that I picked up last year, the green polka dot is a Mini Dots by Riley Blake, and the brown polka dot is one most likely stashed from Joann's. If I am going to traditional Christmas red and green, I love adding in a brown!

Christmas Pillow with red piping

For this pillow, I pieced the top, adding a red pre-made piping in between the tree print and the green polka dots. It's a simple thing to add and I really like the look of it! Next, I cut out a piece of muslin and batting just slightly large than the pillow top, pinned the three together, and then quilted the center using simple straight lines. Easy!

Here's a good look at that red piping. If any of you would like a tutorial for this one, I'd be happy to put a quick one together. Just say the word!

That makes three Christmas pillows now! Four, once I finish that tutorial. I've decided to add these to my shop, but if any of these pillows happen to inspire you or if you would even like to make the exact same one(s), by all means -- please do!

    I adore the Christmas tree pattern it is so cheerful and pretty. The mini-dot fabric really makes everything pop and the red piping is like the pretty bow on top of the package.

    I would love it if you made a tutorial on this lovely pillow ... please, please, please. :)

    Love this pillow and a quick tutorial would be great. Really just need the dimensions to get me started... so cute. I'm going to a retreat tomorrow and could pump a couple of these out. What size is the pillow form?

    Hello! I just wanted to say how much your blog (forget how I found you) has inspired me. I have been gaining confidence to just "try something" and I finally made a tote bag. Thanks for the great photos and inspiration.

    This year my favorite handmade thing for the holidays would be tree skirts. My two youngest adult kids have both requested tree skirts this year. I've blocked off most of today to get going on that project so they can have them by Thanksgiving.

    Many people just buy pillows because they form part of the bedding. It is time you knew that not all pillows will give you comfort. Some will leave you nursing neck pains. Getting the best pillow for neck pain will solve your problem. best pillows in india

    Geese feathers is another type of popular filling that is used for feather pillows, a goose feather pillow can be soft but it is also a bit firmer than a down feather pillow. Best pillow sets online n India
