I could make pillows all day

As long as they all had envelope backs.


Also, I tried some embroidery (see above).  It was really fun, actually.  I think there will be more of it in my future.  I don't know technical terms or anything, but I think I used a backstitch.  I think.
Here it is with its other fall buddy:
I love pillows.  Maybe I'll get winter/Christmas ones done before the season is actually upon us, now that I know how awesome it is.

  2. Love your fall pillows-- I think you were right not to do two of the scrappy tree-- it makes it more unique, and I like it combined with the simplicity of the embroidered one. (I think what you did is called a "running stitch", but it's really cute!) If you're looking for an idea for a christmas pillow, here's a link to one I've had my eye on:

  8. That is so cute. I like that you are doing embroidery, it's practically a dying art. The pillow fabric is nice, too.
