Ginger Blossom Cottage Pillows





I love pillows. The more the merrier! These sweet Cottage Pillows are made from Sandi Henderson's Ginger Blossom line. Such happy fabric! I didn't want the pillows to get too wild so I used a taupe cotton for the backing and to frame the block. It's the same fabric I used on Big Red and it is very soft. It has the look of linen I love without the linen price. All these pillows need now is a sunny afternoon and a porch swing to rest upon. In time Dear One, in time...

    Your pillows are so cute and joyful. I'll be making some for my daughter's new apartment as soon as I finish my Christmas projects. She would love your fabric choices!

    I would never have thought of using taupe colored cotton instead of linen...I went searching yesterday for some linen for a gift I am making - and couldn't find any at the local store...

    The pillows are beautiful!!!
