A Quilted Trio

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.

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?
