    I love it.

    I need to make some pillows, too. (they are way down on the to do list…it’ll probably be another year or so before I get to it.)

  6. love the bright colors on that pillow.

    The fabric is called “Zinnia” and it’s by Alexander Henry. I got it at sewmamasew.com

    What a beautiful fabric, I also like the pillow behind it, they look so cute together.

    and another item checked off your list. Feels good doesn’t it?

    Yippie…and it looks super. How many of us have yards of “pillow” fabric accumulating? I have dreams of making big floor pillows some day…that is, when I have enough floor space.

  15. HAHA!!!! I have the same kind of post on my blog! Took forever to make my pillow too! It wasn’t even hard- just hard to start. Cute site you’ve got!!!

  16. Love it. Seriously. The fabric is GORGEOUS.

    And it is a well deserved pat. It is a lovely pillow.

  18. Toni says:

    oh yeah, i totally know where you’re coming from. super cute pillow.

  19. Lovely pillow! For some reason I’m more intimidated to sew a pillow than a dress/glorified muu muu.

  20. meg says:

    thanks for all your pats too!

    hi meg!
    hope i don’t sound like too much of a nutter here?
    i’ve visited here before but i don’t think i’ve commented. i really like your lovely blog.
    you just commented at my blog and when i clicked your link i had one of those “oh lovely. i know her blog. mmhh how did she land over here at mine?”
    so now i’m here and i swear i’ve seen this pillow before but not here. and recently too. did i dream it? or is it posted somewhere else? i have this vivid recollection of it because i remember thinking how much i love the fabric, the colours.
    i remember finding you via soulemama. she had a link to your tin can cover tutorial. which, btw, i love.
    so i remember how i found you but i know i recently saw this pillow but i’m certain it wasn’t here and now i’m all in a twist – yeah i know i’m weird that way.
    ok and now i’ve gone on and rambled.
    xo
