Every Spring I get a hankering to brighten things up. Re-painting every year isn’t practical. Nor is changing rugs or carpeting. But Pillows! There is an idea that is quick, easy, and very rewarding. I ALWAYS quilt and bind my pillows just as you would a quilt. I find that it makes them heftier and adds a bit of flair when the binding has that special pattern, like a stripe. Here are a few NEW pillow patterns that you might find are just the thing to adorn your home or shop.


And there’s nothing wrong with an ‘oldie but goodie’ pattern either. Here are a few of my favorites.
