Really love the Pom-Pom pillow.. If you didn’t want to make your own pompoms you could get ready made smaller ones and zip up a cool pillow in no time. I made two with red and white checked fabric and trimmed them wit red pompoms. They really brighten a room!!!!
The simplicity of the doiley pillow is really cool. The pop of color gives it a updated feel.
Great pillows! So sick of the usual square pillows being represented as “unique” and “new”. These really ARE! Thanks so much!
the Lattice Pillow is great. I did mine with an alternating red and black fabric. Do you know if there is a similar instruction to construct a bed spread to match?
Thanks for including my lattice pillow!
