I’ve missed making pillows, so after church and lunch out with Dave on Sunday I spent a happy afternoon at my sewing machine. And, since my creative blogging friends suggested using some of my road trip flowers as pillow adornment, I did just that . . . adding in one sweater flower as well. All of the fabrics are remnants or upcycled curtains, and all of the pillows are 14 x 14 inches. I can’t wait to start giving them to my family and friends! ♥

Wow those are beautiful!!
Thank you! They were SO much fun to make! 🙂
The flowers are a-DORABLE and look great on your pretty pillows. I’ll be saving my peanut butter lid and cutting colorful circles soon!
Thank you! 🙂 They just make me smile when I look at them! Plus I have some for pins, some for my granddaughters’ hair, one on my needle book . . . SO many ways to use them! 🙂
I just looove the fabric of the first pillow. I was going to ask where you got it, but then I saw it was an upcycled curtain! Very cool!
I like that one, too! The border of this fabric has elephants and other exotic creatures and plants on it (but all in these same colors), so I should get lots of mileage out of it! 🙂
That sounds so beautiful! I LOVE using curtains, and sheets for fabric! You can make SO much out of them! 🙂
I wish I’d found this blog back when I was cleaning out my mom’s things after she passed away. She had so many scraps of material from all the clothes she made for us growing up, it was a shame to give them all away. If I’d been into quilting, they would have been perfect, but I’m afraid I’m not the sewer my mom was. Now, the flowers I probably could do without too much trouble, but now all the scrap material is gone!
I did the same thing, so when I recently started sewing again I thought of all the things I should have held on to. But then I figured that someone else probably got a lot of joy out of them, and now I’m creating my own scraps. 🙂 Maybe you can check your closets for an old T-shirt or pillowcase or something you don’t wear or use anymore and try a flower or two with that. I’m sure it would be really cute! 🙂
Good idea! Thanks! 🙂
The yellow pillow is gorgeous! With that electric blue, just wow! You had a good idea, the flowers look nice on pillows!
Thank you so much! I love the yellow one, too. 🙂
Beautiful work.
Thank you! 🙂 I do LOVE making pillows!
I feel a project coming on, thanks for all the inspiration!
Yay! Can’t wait to see it! 🙂
