Sew a Fine Seam

I recently created some new pillow designs and also pulled out the fall designs too.  I’ve downsized my pumpkin stencil from last fall and added the small pillows to my fall line for this year.

Pillows for fall decor bring a cozy, warm touch to your living room, family room, bedrooms, and even a bench or chair in the kitchen!

Along with my patriotic pillows and the succulent and cactus pillows, I also recently created these smaller sized patchwork Ohio pillows.  I made a few large sized Ohio pillows for my last pop-up shop and everyone loved them.  Requests came in for some of the smaller size so I made a few. 

I shared my Patriotic pillows last week, so now it’s time to show you my succulent and cactus pillow designs!  They were so fun to create, and are all available at local shops – Wright on High and Midwest Memories.

Scroll through the photos and leave me a comment – tell me which is your favorite.

I made a few patriotic pillows recently and they turned out really cute!  I don’t have a pop-up shop event before the 4th of July so I delivered them all to local shops.  If you see something here you would like and your aren’t local just send me an email and I’ll fix you up!  [email protected]am.com

I share the most on Instagram – it’s my favorite 🙂

When it comes to textiles, I pretty much love them all. They all have a purpose and a place in this life. The textures and softness textiles bring to any decor really brings the space to life.

I especially love when textiles are used in unexpected ways. Today I’m sharing with you a couple ways I’ve been using burlap in unexpected ways.

Now burlap is a fabric that I have sort of a love/hate relationship with. I love the look of it and I love what other people do with it, but I don’t love to work with it myself. It’s itchy and messy and it makes my skin break out in a rash sometimes. Therefore I rarely use the stuff. I occasionally use it for a custom pillow request. Small bits of it here and there on a pillow or handbag design. But for the most part I stay away from the stuff anymore.

My small, word art pillows have been so fun to create. The vintage detailing that make them one-of-a-kind is my favorite thing about them.

All the lace, doilies, trim, yo-yos, and fabric scraps are vintage finds. Body of pillow is our signature canvas fabaric as well as the frayed-edge pieces on which the words are stenciled.

Last summer I introduced some new, smaller size pillow designs. I took my original designs from my larger pillows and began making them smaller for the smaller size pillows. These are perfect for a kids room, an accent pillow along with the larger pillow designs, on a bed, a small side chair, or just about anywhere you want to tuck a fun, squishy pillow.
