Pillow Talk

I like making throw pillows. There are so many options for shape, trims, colors. I always make my own piping and I have been known to make 50 (yes, fifty!) yards of piping at a time. Most of the time when I make that much piping, though, it's for cushions. But it's not that difficult to make and adds another dimension or accent to the pillows. Take a look at these!

My latest project: down-filled throw pillows!

Bright coral linen fabric, almost a burlap woven texture

Floral throw pillow;  the striped and dot fabrics behind it were for the window valances.  

The paisley pillows have a cord edging on them

Reversible cushions with coordinating reversible pillows

More pillows with cord edging

The blue pillows are a silk shantung and the gold are a velour with a cheetah design cut in the fabric.
