valentine's pillows

these are the valentine's day pillows that i made. i wish i was a fantastic seamstress and could do zippers and buttonholes, but i am learning. with this project i developed a healthy respect for regular thread and i am getting better with my straight seams. the seams are so straight on these i am actually thinking of trying some simple straight line quilting! its such a feeling of accomplishment getting these little projects done and they just make me want to do more.

so here is my 13x20" pillow on my living room chairs - a wordy "love" print from joanne's. i think after the holiday, this will go in my bedroom:



and this is my "love u" applique pillow, with a very simple heart print pillow behind it. did u notice the heart shape on the applique - its a nice and generous fat heart - just the way a heart should be! the pinky purple plain one, all the way in back, is from ikea. i love ikea fabric and hope to get some more next week :)



happy valentine's day!
