Pillow Days

I'm getting hooked in making pillows this week.
I finished this creme unbleached cotton one that I've started almost 3 or 4 weeks ago. I'm happy for the result. Inspired by the maze puzzle then I sew the quilting lines like that.


These two ones inspired by the vintage batik cloths that I saw in a traditional market in Jogya, a famous cultural city , 3 hours drive from my hometown. I spent a whole Saturday there with my husband. We both love browse and visit traditional market in every city we visit.

About this vintage batik cloth....I fall in love with the pattern and its "old style" colors and bought many. I chose log cabin pattern for these pillow in case for showing couple of vintage batik cloths in one project. I still used unbleached cotton and polyester batting between layers.
What about you...what's your project for this week?

Unbleached fabric pillow case...oh, I'm in love with it!

While waiting for the last block from my Bee Addicted friend, I made a
pillowcase from 'blacu' fabric or unbleached fabric (maybe it's almost the same with muslin ?). I get hooked with this kind of fabric. Love the natural color and texture so much!.. and also its price :)
I used cotton ribbon for making the crossed pattern at the front.

Remember this table runner? The binding has done! I (again) made a pillow as a matching pair. Well, actually not "a" but four pillows! I don't know, this week I'm in love with pillowcase and unbleached fabric. I love to see how the thread lines turned out after sewing on it.
