I’m one lucky gal! Last week, my parents were in town and my mom (the most talented seamstress I know) and I were on a mission to craft it up! While I worked on the candy corn onesie, she whipped up these wonderful and whimsical pillows for me! We had made a trip to our local quilting shop, Quilters Paradise in Clovis, CA. I instantly fell in love with this print called “Haunted House” by Alexander Henry. I love the illustrations and they have a very funky/cool retro vibe! In fact, all of the Alexander Henry Halloween fabrics were just divine. It was so hard to choose! I paired this pattern up with the “Spooktakular Too” polka dot print by Debbie Taylor Kerman for Henry Glass Fabrics. Sewed up with pom pom trims in black and orange, I think they turned out absolutely darling.
Here’s some more cute details!
Everytime I see a black cat, I’m drawn. I have a warm spot because of my black cat Pixie.
It’s true, pom poms make everything better. My new kitten agrees. Let’s hope he doesn’t tear these up!
I love the detail of the illustration down to her striped sleeves and wart on her chin!
Here’s another view! I paired it up with my font tablecloth/makeshift slipcover. Last year, my friend Silvia helped me decorate my living room (blogged here)and gave me the idea to use the tablecloth this way. I think it’s genius!
Thanks Mom for the darling pillows. I absolutely love and cherish them!!
Until next time Swellions!
Lovin’ your new pillows, that fabric is too cute:@)
Love ’em! I picked up a bunch of Alexander Henry Halloween fabric last year. Great stuff.
I’m smitten with your pillow fabric selection. Extremely cool.
So awesome!!!
My mom made me some headstone pillows last year (that I use year-round). Hurrah for talented mothers! 🙂
