~Ruffles and Lace~

All I care about is pillows.

I’ve been obsessed with them lately.

I made ‘new’ pillow shams for my bed! (I know…I know…I just made pillow cases last week!)

And oh how I love the way these turned out.

I was inspired by a couple of posts that Jen did on Lace Crazy! She is super talented!

This was a vintage tablecloth with just a faint stripe through the fabric. It has been washed many times and is so so soft! No stains or blemishes. I finished them off with vintage lace. And look how much fabric I had leftover after this project! (WHEW! That was close! lol)

But then I took all of the throw pillows off the two red sofas in the living room to start fresh and I’ve been making new pillow covers. I wish I could find some old needlepoint pillows with fringe like the ones on the red sofa in Downton Abbey. I’m going to keep looking!

The small pillow I made awhile back.

Do you like to change your throw pillows out from time to time or put new covers on them?
