Teacher Gift

Pin It Now!

Denny's teacher has a reading couch in her classroom, so I thought I'd make some fun throw pillows as her end-of-the-year teacher gift. I hope she loves them, because I sure was tempted to keep them for myself!

Most of the fabrics are from Laurie Wisbrun's Tufted Tweets fabric collection.

Cedar Chest Bench Seat

Pin It Now! Introducing my grandmother's cedar chest. It's old and worn, but smells oh-so-heavenly every time I open it. I decided to move it into my sewing space to pull double duty as extra craft storage and a bench seat. So I sewed a new cushion and two pillows to doll it up.

Have you heard Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero's song Home? It makes me so happy every time I listen to it :) These pillows have a similar effect... one says home and the neighboring pillow has my state appliqued on it. Oh for the love of cuteness!

And I embroidered a tiny ♥heart♥ where Boise is:
