For my Mother in Law’s Mother’s Day gift, I made a pillow in reds left over from the Lava Meets Sea quilt. Since I’ve already made a flower pillow from the reds too, I’m about out of the reds. I may have to buy that color bundle again, it was just so perfect for so many projects. This pattern is from City Quilts for the quilt City Green.
I love it so much, I think I’ll use the leftover blues to make a new wall quilt to keep.
What’s one more thing on the To Do List, right?
A friend saw our couch full of pillows and suddenly felt that his new man cave wasn’t complete. He needed a Super Mario Bros. mushroom pillow of his own. He was totally right, so I stitched up a pair of pillow covers for him. If you feel a need for awesome gamer pillows (or a quilt!) too, check out the tutorials at Cut to Pieces. They’re a lot of fun to make, just simple patchwork on a smaller scale. Happy sewing!
With the completion of my Garden District pillow …
My “couch full of pillows” project is complete!
Four of the seven pillows are patterns from the Pillow POP book. After the holidays I’ll start on three more for the chair, but for now I’ll just enjoy being done with something!
I have six of seven couch cushions completed! One more pillow to finish the couch, then the chair and a half can wait until after our holiday company rush is over before I start its three pillows.
Boy, that mushroom really stands out, doesn’t it?
Keep sewing, my friends!
