Loft Pillows

Pillow fever continues!  Sunday was a great time to nest the loft with two new additions to the couch.


I love big, floral patterns.  Especially against a solid background.



Isn't this fabric cute?

Cutting pillow squares from the folded selvage.

Marking out the squares (in faint blue tailor's chalk).

Pinning matching piping to the right side of the fabric.

Both sides sewn together, with an opening for the pillow form.

A happier couch.

and used some Martha Stewart floral stencils to paint this on:
