Pillow Set for the Lovebirds


This is my latest set of quilted scrappy throw pillows. I made these as a gift for my friends Catherine and Kevin, who just took the big moving-in-together step. I have not yet been to their new love nest, but was told their livingroom had not-quite schoolbus yellow walls and a couch the color of chocolate. So this is what I came up with:

cover
s can be easily removed from the pillow forms for washing.

Maybe even more than for other occasions, I love the idea of pieced items for couples. After all, we are celebrating that these two people, with different histories, memories, abilities and talents, come together and their union produces something greater than just the sum of their parts.*

Happy Shacking Up, Catherine & Kevin!
May the two of you have a long,
happy, and colorful life together!
