Pillows Week! Episode #4

Feather pillows are my pillow of choice.

I love the resiliency of a good feather pillow.

No matter how you abuse it by wallowing (is that a word?)

all over it...you can plump it back up to it's original shape!

Feather inserts are a little more expensive than your

average poly-fil pillow but definitely well worth it.

(If you're in the OK-TX area, Interior Fabrics/Cutting Corners

is the best source I've found for feather pillows.  But keep your eyes

open at discount stores like Tuesday Morning or TJ Maxx)

Here's one of a pair that sit on my sofa.

 These are 26"x26" feather pillows.

Again, I've added the double ruffle...

...with the contrasting fabric on the back.

Here's the same fabrics used on a 14"x20"

I love making this next style of pillow.

This is a feather bed pillow - 20"x26"

(insert found at TJ Maxx)

and can be made with up to 5 fabrics.

This particular pillow has 4 fabrics, 3 trims and a 2" ruffle.

The key to this style is a great focal fabric for the center.

It doesn't have quite the same effect if the center

fabric is just a regular all over pattern.

Toile works great as well as a floral bouquet fabric.

These two are both 14"x20" feather pillows

.

This size if often called a "kidney" pillow.

These are great to use in any size chair

including your dining room!

Do you get the idea that I might like ruffles???

Please join me tomorrow
