Pillows from P.B Inspiration

Have you seen these in Pottery Barn's catalog?





I heart these pillows and have embroidered all three for me except in blue thread for my bedroom. I need to pick up pillow forms for my set and finish them up over the weekend. I used osnaburg fabric on my pillows and it works out nicely. Here is a link to see this fabric but you can buy it at Wal-Mart and Joann's.


College daughter has her own apartment and this is the first time she is decorating her own place for the holidays. She purchased a blue sofa with 2 chairs in a very contempory print with brighter colors. The traditional reds and greens aren't her first choice for holiday decorating. I had decorator burlap leftover from recovering my window seats. It is perfect for these pillows. The look of burlap without the coarseness. I stitched out Peace and Joy, she really didn't care for Love, so she has one for each chair. For the handstitching look around the edge of the pillow, I used two strands of buttonhole twist. I marked a line with a water soluble marker 2" from the cut edge. Then followed the line with some longer handstitches. Quick and Easy project. The hard part is getting good pictures when it gets dark so quickly and Erin wants to take her pillows back to her apartment!

Here is peace:

Now joy, sitting on my new chair in my bedroom. First its close-up:

Now without the zoom:

I finished my second wreath, now a nice pair on the mirrors. I did get a picture in the daylight for these, they looks so pretty.
