Today has been a day of rolling thunderstorms, which made the dogs highly clingy and the chicks annoyed by the chill in the air. As for me, I was delighted with a day where I didn't have to be out moving mountains of dirt or grubbing out persistent weeds. I got to spend the whole morning (between loads of laundry) digging through my fabric stash and combining assorted designs to make some pillows for the new nook upstairs.
I just love combining fabrics. Even those that you think would never go together can be made to work. I am really feeling the strip-stripe-quilting thing right now, can you tell?
After a productive morning, I have five newly covered throw pillows which will hopefully make the nook an inviting retreat. I have plans to fetch more pillow forms tomorrow, because I think five little pillows isn't nearly enough. I think the nook also requires a body pillow or two, and bookshelves. Definitely bookshelves.
With sequins.
Wow you are productive!! Those pillows look awesome! Love all the colors and patterns together. Good job!
