Once upon a time, mom,
daughter dear, and I happened upon a
stash sale, the looks of which none of us had seen before! We all found some goodies to bring home and at the time, mom knew exactly what she wanted made out of her stack - some new pillows for her family room.
Michele D'Amore's Habitat & Bold and Beautiful + Kona Sweet Pea
Fast forward 8 months and we finally settled on a pattern and some quilting designs and got the 20" pillow forms purchased. The pillow below was our initial inspiration, but note that this is actually
the back of a pillow by
PatchworkPottery. But we loved the stripeyness, the quilted goodness, and indeed, the tie back.
With plans for 3 pillows, I used the same mix of fabrics on each pillow, but in a different order.
Each also got a different quilting treatment, all with Aurifil 50wt #2326 (tan, though it looked more goldish to me).
The third pattern actually got the addition of #2310 (light beige) as well . . .
And the backs? All three got a faced envelope closure with matching ties.
With a matching dotty binding to finish them up, I'm pretty sure they'll suit mom just fine. Better late than never, right?
Debbie, these are gorgeous! Very elegant fabric choice. And the quilting is so perfect.

Wonderful... love the back tooIt's rare that you really want to turn a pillow around and show the back :)
ReplyDeleteThe pillows look so comfy and full to the brim which is awesome!
ReplyDeletegreat pillows!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty pillows. Love all the different quilting patterns.
ReplyDeleteI love your choices. I have a probably obvious to everyone but me question but is the tie mostly for looks or does it perform a function I'm not thinking of? I usually do envelope closures and I think the tie is a spiffy idea.
ReplyDeleteI love the tie idea! I would never have thought of that! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeletePretty trio!
ReplyDeleteThey're great debbie! Funny, on IG I thought they were blue!!
