Quickie Pillows

I found some fabric in my stash. Yeah, big surprise.

It's been there for oh, maybe 25 years. I just keep moving it around, telling myself I ought to make some pillows with that. 

It was pretty stuff. Remnant picked up over at the upholstery store over in Waynesville. They had a sister store that carried quilt fabric. I loved going over there with Grandma way back in the day.

So last week, a day or two before the family reunion, I decided that these pillows needed to be made. I had a package of 16" forms, so I got busy and made these two pillows, envelop backs, simple construction.

I tried them out on the front room sofa, then on a chair in the family room.

The fabric looks like bark cloth, but I don't think it is. The tag on the piece of remnant said 3/4 yard, and I got it for $7.49. Two pillow covers for $7.49! Gosh, why had I waited so long to make these?

In this photo, you can see the sofa in the screened porch; I have since moved these pillows to that sofa, and they seem to belong on the porch.The leafy design of the fabric seems most suited for that more casual setting.

So, I'm very happy with my new pillows, and I still need to make some new one for the family room sofa and the front room sofa. Maybe now I'm motivated.

Happy Quilting, Friends!
