New Cushions!

Over the last couple of weeks, I have received all of my pillow and cushion projects back from the amazing Holly. I love how they have all turned out, but I am especially excited about the bar stool cushions pictured above. Holly really saved the day because she suggested a solid red piping, which they really needed but I hadn’t thought of. She went and found it herself, and it’s clear that they wouldn’t look nearly as awesome if she hadn’t done that. Here are a few more shots:

I especially love how the ties are short and fat. When I had cushions made many years ago (by someone else) for these same stools, I forgot to convey how I wanted the ties to look. As a result, they were long and stringy. Here is a shot from our old house, where you can see them:

I also got back two new covers for some of the family room pillows.

Here’s a closer look at one. Notice that there is not a bird in sight. I’m trying!

What do you think? I’m extremely happy with them. Of course I already have another project in mind for Holly, so I’m on the fabric hunt again. I think a Calico Corners near me just had a grand re-opening. I wonder if the coupon they sent is still good. Do you have a favorite place to shop for fabric? Please share!
