Rose Toile Custom Made Designer Pillows

I love roses & was so happy when I found a Hunter Douglas fabric sample book at my local thrift store. Both of these pillows were created using red & lavender toile.  The red pillow is accented in the center with a monogrammed linen hand towel. The lavender pillow is accented in the center with a gorgeous Cowtan & Tout lace remnant that I had been holding onto until just the right project. I also added faux pearl beads around the perimeter.

Measuring about 9 1/2" x 10", these pillows are great accents for any room. They provide the perfect pop of color. They're great for layering & mixing & matching.

I'm happy to say that both pillows have found new homes with two wonderful customers who support my work. While I don't have anymore of this particular designer fabric, I do have other fabric that is only available to the interior decorating trade. I happily welcome all custom orders. Please feel free to contact me if you have a particular decorating wish. I'd love the opportunity to come up with something special just for you!

My Birthday Celebration Fabric Giveaway

To celebrate my birthday (February 18th), I have a treat for you! I’m giving away what I love: FABRIC! If you’re anything like me, you can do a thousand projects with any given piece of fabric. The beauty of fabric can send your mind in a million different creative directions or you could instantly know exactly the right project. Well, my storage room is overflowing with fabric. NOW is the perfect time to share.

This giveaway includes some rare vintage pieces (1 yard of Holly Hobby & 1 yard of Dick Tracy) that my mother has had in storage for years. I remember oohing & aahing over these designs when I was a little girl. I sold a few yards of it on Ebay for about $25 at the end of last year. There are some stains on the selvedge edge of these pieces. So, I do recommend washing prior to use to freshen up the fabric. This giveaway also includes 2 Cowtan & Tout square samples (perfect for pillows), and Waverly “Fulham” fabric .

I just adore roses! So, my first fabric giveaway wouldn’t be quite as special without throwing in some vintage rose fabric remnants. This fabric is definitely beautiful enough to frame & hang on the wall. I know that anyone with a passion for fabric can do something special with these pieces.

I’d like to have a giveaway on a regular basis- perhaps weekly or monthly. So, let’s make this giveaway a success!
