~ Red Gingham Pillow ~

When I was decorating throughout our home for the holiday season,

I needed a quick and easy pop of red for our bedroom.

{Red Gingham Pillow}

Now, it's been a little while since I had the sewing machine out....

But, I picked up this red & white gingham fabric at Hobby Lobby for $4.99/yd.

I only needed 1 yard and I managed to whip up 2 lumbar pillow covers in no time.

I think they added that simple touch of holiday to our bedroom.

I've always wanted to make pillows and maybe even sell my pillows someday.

Well...I have sold a few at Market Days in LeClaire before....see them here.

I think this little project has motivated me to get back to making some more pillows.
I intended on working on these last year. 
But my health took a lead role with my back issues and surgery.

Now that I am finally past all that!
Time to get back to business!

Hopefully you will be able to see some more pillows this Spring here on the ol blog.

vintage grain sacks

Thought I would share with you my newest creations.........

I made these pillows covered in vintage grain sacks and flour and

sugar sacks to sell at market days! 

Unfortunately not a lot of sales at market days...

but I left them at Dwellings hoping to sell them there.

I have to be honest it will not break my heart if they all don't sell! 
I am in love with them!!! 

And what a bargain I only paid $4.50 per sack a total deal!

I must say.....it has been a while since I busted out the sewing machine! 

I even surprised myself a little!
