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...
