Christmas Throw Pillows

Christmas is around the corner, I am in good mood to make something for this season. This has become a yearly routine for me :)

10 weeks prior to Christmas I started my throw pillows making. Initially I just planned to make few throw pillows for the sofa in the living room. Then, a friend approached me to make some for his Christmas booth sale. So, I ended up making so many of them.

After 3 weeks plus of labor between my available time I made 21 beautiful throw cushions. Some are kept for personal used and some going to the shop.

Christmas palette in shades of red, gold, champagne and ivory
Big square, small square and oblong throw pillow, which do you prefer?



Many of the exquisite fabric used in making these throw pillows are from fabric sampler boards. I am fortunate to have collected these sampler boards when a friend cleared some discontinued and last seasons sampler boards in his workshop. The design of these throw pillows were worked and designed according to the sizes of the available fabrics. Because of this restriction, more interesting design being produced.


Like these patched throw pillows...



and this design when the available fabric are only sufficient for one side of a throw pillow


Ivory, cream, champagne, and pale good make a good classic combo.


Looking forward for Christmas to arrive. Hope you have done something for your homes, shops, and churches to welcome the season.
