My mother made these pillows at least two weeks ago and I had never taken a picture! So here they are, on my den floor. I had visions of buying foam and making cushions from scratch. Then we were at Ikea and these 28" x 28" pillows were less than $10 a piece, so I ditched my grandiose plans quickly. I do have a tutorial on pillows and on cording, so go for it. I have found I like them very much, as they give me a place to lay down while Olivia plays. Thank you, Mother.
Speaking of which, I shot these pictures on Sunday, but I had a little trouble. Somebody couldn't stand not being in front of the camera.
So I shot some pictures of her, which satisfied her need to be photographed and then I could shoot the pillows. And normally, I do keep her clothed, but she had been outside playing in a puddle.
Hi,
I stumbled upon your blog by chance, as I did a search for Yo Yo Makers, and saw your site. Read your blog, I just luuuurve the choice of fabrics to make your floor pillows, they are so beautifully made.
You have a talented mother:)
Your daughter is so adorable!
I am still a novice when it comes to using a sewing machine. Hubby bought me a Singer CE-100 with Embrodiery features sewing machine, and I have yet to master it...*sighs* still figuring it out on how to use it. hehe
I love making decorative pillows and stuffed toys, but have made them by hand.
With your permission, I would like to bookmark your blog.
God bless you and your loved ones!
Sincerely
June Pogue

Those pillows are awesome. And I don't know if I left a comment about the chair, but it is fantastic too!
I can't tell you how many photos I have of my finished knitting posing with a stuffed cow. If my 3yo is around, she insists that Cow get in the act.

I love the pillows and Olivia is adorable. But, let's talk about the Golden Retriever Curly Lamb mix... I have a 7 year old Golden who would love to introduce himself. His picture is on my blog.

Great pillows! I have some big ones like that but mine are nowhere near as pretty. I did almost fall asleep on them on the floor while my little one was crawling on me though!
