pillows

I have several pillows I just want to share with you. 

Some of them I made, others were made by my friends.

I made this one for my friend, Brook. 

She has it on her bed with a red & white quilt. 

I got the inspiration from the Red Pepper Quilts blog.

 

This is the backing I used.....love Aneela Hoey prints! 

This one is Sherbet Pips.

 

Ticking makes beautiful pillows - simple & durable.

My friend, Kathleen, at Hens & Daisies, made this one for me.

She loves ticking about as much as I do!

 

She also makes these vintage seed packet pillow covers.

 

 

I had to have both of them!

Check out her Etsy shop, here.

 

 

I made this sweet 30's print mini spider web pillow. 

 

A close-up of the "kids" print I used for the centers.

Here's a link to the tutorial on a mini spider web block.

Brook - yes, the same friend - made me this hand embroidered pillow. 

 

Her embroidery work is perfection!

I love it so much....
 

 

 

Another ticking pillow along with a chenille pillow.

Kathleen made my ticking pillow cover and I added the chenille one.

The more you wash ticking the softer it becomes.

 

I love pillows!
