HOW MANY PILLOWS IS TOO MANY...

                                I have been busy sewing in my studio
                              making more pillows.

          I had ordered this fabric VINTAGE BLOSSOM
           from Fabric.com and what should appear
                    in the January 2012 issue
             of Romantic Homes,  but.........Vintage Blossom. 

                            I was delighted.

             So I went to work and made these 2 lovelies.   
            

        I thought this fabric choice of colour was just right.
                            It pulls out the blue in the loveseat.

The pillow in the middle is no other than Sutton Place Designs.
                    This is the cover that I picked from 
                    A  Stroll Thru Life's giveaway.
             I was to go to Ann's sight and choose a 
                   pillow cover @ 50%  off.
                    I believe I made the right choice.

I haven't shown many pictures of our living room.
                              Here are a few.
                                     More to come in another post.

   Don't go away,  I'm on a roll. Made 2 more pillows.
    I found this pink checkered fabric 
at IKEA. a nice decorating   weight. 
      As well  I  picked up 6 feather   pillow inserts
        This pink check brings out the pink in the sofa.
               These pillows are made 20 x 20.


           While out at Homesense our Canadian store
                         like your Home Goods,
                   I  purchased these two linen
                  French beauties 20 x 20 for only
                              $24.95 EACH.
                            What a bargain.  
      They look great with the other pillows on my sofa.

                     Well I see that my
                Romantic Homes and 
House and Home
                      magazines have arrived.
                Time for tea and a good read.

         Can you have too many pillows?

  5. Your pillows are beautiful, I love the fabrics. I have never looked at Fabrics.com, I need to, all we have here in Winnipeg is Fabricland and a few fabric stores that are not chains and either the fabrics are really expensive or very outdated. Thanks for the heads up on that.

  15. Wow oh wow, love all your pillows. You lucked out at Homesense, with that store either you can find a great selection of pillows or nothing. Having said that, you can always find something to buy at that store, love it. Lovely post.

  18. I agree about the IKEA inserts. I think they are the best out there and for an incredible price. My only problem is that the nearest IKEA is a 90 minute drive one way. When I go I usually buy several inserts. Thanks for the feature. I'm so happy you like the pillow cover!

  26. Amazing!! Just yesterday I saw Vintage Blossom on Fabric.com and thought it was such a great print! I am even considering it for either drapery or roman shades in my master bedroom. I love how your pillows turned out - the colour of the fabric is just perfect too!

    Thanks for sharing!

    Take care,
