These pillows have been sitting on my works in progress pile for a couple months now… (Apparently since the end of May actually according to this and this.) We have family coming to visit this week though, so I decided it was time to get these finished and onto our couch. The fronts are just slightly different (mostly because I didn’t actually have enough of the same linen for both pillows), but I love how it looks. They match this quilt, and all are now in our living room. (At some point I will take some photos of the whole room to post.)
The backs of the pillows are just a plain grey organic cotton, which is quite soft…
It does make me laugh a bit when I look back at that quilt post and realize that both the quilt and the pillows sat on my wip pile for quite awhile. At least both projects are finished finally :)
Onto a totally different subject… If you are a craft blogger and you live in the Seattle area (or feel like visiting for this:) on Saturday, September 6th I am arranging a little informal craft blog get together. It will just be getting together for a bit of coffee and chatting, but if you are at all interested send me an email (chara at charamichele dot com) and I can send you more details about location and time. It should be a lot of fun! :)
Oh and despite the fact that this week is promising to be a very busy one, I decided I just had to redecorate my entire blog with a new theme design (+ banner). So if you read this post in a feed reader, feel free to pop on over to my blog and take a look :)
Nice pillows! Nice new blog banner. Wish I could come to Seattle and meet the bloggers. — michele
lovely pillows…lovely blog banner….all types of loveliness!
I, too, wish I could come to the blogger meet up. sounds like fun.
Cool pillows! And I wish so much that I could come to the bloggers get together, but unfortunately that isn’t a possibility. Have a wonderful time though!
AWWWW! I wanna go to Seattle and have coffee and chat!! :(
Love your new banner and new pillows.
The pillows turned out lovely! That’s such a great idea to have a little get together with other bloggers :-)
I’d love to come to Seattle….. maybe someday…. Your pillows look great!
Pillows are looking great there on your couch. The “new look” for your blog is very nice, the meet and great for bloggers at your house sounds like a good time. Hope you have several friends show up, this is a nice idea…wonder if it would work here in MN next summer during the MN State quilters convention.
Ooh. The pillows are beautiful.
The pillows look lovely and quite labor intensive, how long did it take you to make them?
Also I love the shot of the Peony’s.
Love the new pillows. Perfect patchwork — perfect color and style! Enjoy your company!
oh how i wish i lived there! how fun! the kansas city gals get together on a fairly regular basis. love the pillows as well!
The pillows are great! I have been meaning to make new pillows for our living room for ages. I wish I lived near Seattle, I would definitely be there. If I were near that many gorgeous peonies, I might just faint!
Love the pillows!
Love the new banner!
Love Seattle!
Very nice work on the pillows. So modern and very nice use of color. They remind me of your photos! Just the right amount of color and contrast.
I really like your color combinations on the pillows, and the quilt is lovely too!
Those pillows are delightful and those fluffy flowers are spectacular!
