These four pillows are a Christmas gift for my mother and are custom made to fit rush covered kitchen chairs.
The pillows measure 16 inches x 16 inches ~ each pieced from 49 squares measuring 2.75" x 2.75" including seam allowances ~ and include a invisible zip inserted in the side seam so that the covers can be removed and washed with ease.
For the back of the pillows I have used a cotton/linen blend home decorator fabric for extra durability; it has been in my stash for some time awaiting the "right" project. I love how it has a Christmas feel about it without it actually being a Christmas print.
Ready for the wrapping fairy ... I am not a huge fan of the wrapping paper and sticky tape.
Thank you for stopping by,
Rita

ReplyDeleteDoes your mother sew? You could wrap them in fabric! Or make bags to put them in!

ReplyDeleteA lovely gift. The "wrapping" is great too!,,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! If the wrapping fairy shows up, ask her to put my house on her list!

ReplyDeleteYour pillows are lovely--colors and backing look great together! Lucky mom!
ReplyDeleteThose pillows are gorgeous!
ReplyDeletethey are so pretty, Rita! i especially love that first photo. you do such beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful, Rita. You're a great daughter. Your mother will love them.
ReplyDeleteThey're truly lovely! And that backing print is great - do you remember what it is/ where you got it?
ReplyDeleteThey are fantastic!
ReplyDeletelove them. how do you install your invisible zipps?
ReplyDeletejust wondering if these tie to the chairs somehow. I know without the ties on my cushions they would slip off constantly...
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteThose are so gorgeous, you have a lucky mom! I've been planning a quilt in similar colours for a few months now, I hope it turns out as nice as your pillows.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, as usual! Love them! I sometimes make pillowcases (sometimes seasonal, or with some special sentiment) to use as 'gift bags' tied with a pretty ribbon! I'm not a huge fan of wrapping myself, it creates yet another memorable gift, and is one more way to use up fabric from your stash!
