Pillow Talk

9/6/2018

Pil*low:  a piece of cloth stuffed with soft materials, used to support the head when lying down.

Pillows have gone from a comfortable head support to making a statement.  They may be made with pretty fabrics, quilted loveliness, of collaged fabrics.  The choice definitely speaks of who we are and what we think.  I love pretty pillows!  I think I sell more pillows than anything else I make.  I sold a big pillow with the "Give it a Try" saying on it.  The woman who bought it asked me to make another one like it for a gift.  I do not take special orders, but I did in this rare case.  I made the quote to large for the pillow and decided to make an additional pillow so it wasn't wasted.  I'm happy with how both turned out.
Then I had a quilted piece with coyotes and I used that for the front of a pillow and I used a piece of Kantha quilt for the back of the pillow.
The last pillow is made from miscellaneous pieces I collaged together. 

Sweet Dreams!
