I LOVE making pillows!

What IS it about pillows?!  I just can't get enough of them.... I have an on-going list of more pillows that I can't wait to create.  My favorite way to go about this is to purchase plain pillows from a store (had great success at Ikea most recently)... especially if the plain colored pillow case has a zipper at the bottom where you can pull out the pillow core, then we're in business!  I'm pretty much stuck on using wool felt as the medium for the design I sew onto pillows (my love for wool felt is heavily influenced by my mom).  Shapes, words, colors..... so many pillow inspirations all around me.  Here are a few I've made in the past year or so:

Pillow for Peter's (younger brother's) birthday.  He has worn a necklace with this fish hook symbol on it for years:


Pillow for Kali Sage's 14th Birthday:


Blue Heart pillow to go with my new Ikea curtains:



I can't wait to show you more!

Cheers,
Ellen 
(p.s. my favorite glass pendant to wear (from previous post) is the little green guy.... I think he's super cute and looks like he wants to hug everyone!)
