Memoir Poem Pillow

I just LOVE making these heart shaped pillows by Sew4home!

This pillow uses the pattern / tutorial that you can access for free on their site, however I added the extra touch of a poem in memory of a friend's loved one, printed on printable fabric sheets, and using machine applique to attach it.  I love how it turned out...

Silhouette: A Black Rose Quilt

Now that Christmas is over, I can finally start posting some pictures of my most recent projects!  One of which is this queen bed quilt "Silhouette: A Black Rose Quilt" and the matching shams & bed pillows.  This was given to my brother and sister-in-law for Christmas.

*You can buy the pattern for the square white pillow with the black center & bow, from Lilly*Blossom on Facebook and her Etsy Shop.

Valentine Pillow

One of my favorite newsletter email subscriptions is that to the Sew4Home site.  They offer wonderful patterns and tutorials on their site, many of which I would like to try making someday.  I did decide to make the Valentine's Day: Hoopla Pre-Cuts: Box o' Chocolates Heart Pillows today, and am so excited at how my try at it turned out pretty darn good.  I love how easy these are to make, and I love how cute they are too!
I did have a bit of trouble with the chiffon, due to never having worked with chiffon before, but it all came together very nicely in the end!
Here's some pictures of my first pillow...

 Thank you Sew4Home for sharing the concept and pattern for these wonderful heart shaped pillows on your site!  I had so much fun making this, and it's going to make a very nice Valentine's gift for someone!
