Winter Pillows

I had this idea I would make pillows for every season.  I saved these flannel blankets with the idea of making cute pillows with reindeer and mittens on them.  But it became December and I needed to replace the Thanksgiving pillows.  So I made pillow covers out of the blankets.  No zippers required.  These are very soft and comfy.  The whole family is very happy with them.  They may stay out through January.

Halloween haberdashery

My new favorite obsession is newsprint fabric.  And of course I love Halloween.  So this pattern by Melissa Mortenson at Polkadotchair was perfect for me.  It is called Halloween Haberdashery.  It went together very easily once I got the hang of the hats.  I also got to use my other new favorite obsession piping.  I used piping around the edges of the pillows.  I am so in love with these pillows I think I will make some for each season.  Changing pillow covers is such an easy way to make over the house for the different seasons.  Now to just keep these away from the dog!
