Everyone needs an extra set of pillows, right? I made this set up for my parents for Christmas. I went with a simple patchwork design, using lots of Joel Dewberry’s Modern Meadow fabrics along with some Kei honeycomb and solids.
The fronts are quilted with random quilting lines, and they’re backed with one of my favorite prints from the Modern Meadow line.
My favorite part might be the white binding. I love how the addition of the white brightened up the whole look of the pillows. And I’m pleased to say that they were well received!

And speaking of Christmas, we attempted to get a nice photo of us during our Christmas Eve celebration…
And here’s what we ended up with instead –

thank you sponsors!
The pillows look great!
That’s actually a great picture! You both look so happy and I love how it looks like you’re doing a belly bump!
the pillows are lovely, but …. you two …. so cute together and ya’ll look so happy … merry christmas ….
I think you look great. I found your blog through some CG wives. LOVE the quilty stuff! 🙂
I agree – the picture is perfect! Happy Happy!
LOVE the pillows! And, the two of you couldn’t be cuter 🙂
You look great! It’s a cliche but true – you are glowing!
Love peeking in on what you’re making. Lovely lovely stuff!
beautiful pillows and adorable belly!
(and oh my word how cute is that baby gonna be…). 🙂
CUTE Pillows and adorable picture of the three of you. 😀
So how is the binding applied to the pillow?? Would it be like piping? Please share if you have time.
The binding on these pillows is attached just like quilt binding – 2 1/2″ binding ironed in half, sewn to the front and then handsewn to the backing. Hope that helps!
I think that’s a great picture of the three of you!
Congrats on the baby bump! It always seem to be a dream until the bump starts to show 🙂
Great pillows, beautiful fabrics! Joel Dewberry is one of my favs!
