Look closely at this picture
It is the ice pattern on my windshield one cold morning
Feathers
I am thankful for all the beauty God creates around me
Isnt this fun?
This was the pattern on my car
A swirly design that looks like someone painted my car
I could not stop looking at it
So beautiful and inspiring
Saw this HUGE egg when I got hubs prescription
No i didnt buy it. But i would have had a ball painting it for decoration
This batik became the back of my brothers placemat pillows
Yeah THESE
the fox
Oh my if you ever see placemats you would like as a pillow
GRAB THEM
these were 1.99 each.I got a set of two foxes
And with fabric from the stash that has the colors in it I made 2 envelope pillow covers for 12x16 inch pillow forms
Easy peasy and i love them!
My brother will too for his woodsy cabin in Maine
I had gotten the pillow forms one time half off at joanns
Now wish i had bought a bunch
I cut my backs 11 x the width of the placemat. Mine was about 13x18 which left a generous half inch seam allowance when sewing
I finished one edge on each back, overlapped them right sides down and stitched away. Literally a 5 minute project
Great gifts ladies
Keep your eyes open for cute placemats at the stores
I cant wait to make my Fall pumpkin and leaves ones
****update mine are done too ****
My goal is to have seasonal pillows but with only a few forms
I can store the other pillow envelopes flat to save space
Quilted pillow ideas will follow
I always wanted yellow finches and there is a pattern for a pieced bird i can use
A huge snowflake block would look cool
A blue churndash to go with my couch
Oh the possibilities
I have a Christmas pillow someone gave me and they enclosed the form. SO, I made envelope new and different style/color ones to switch it up but still keep that pretty pillow in use.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea--when (and if) I ever get out to any stores I will keep my eyes open for some. the Fox is so cute--nice work hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteI love your ideas! The crystals are so pretty. You should try to quilt it!
