Pure Wool Pillow

My husband's been searching for a good pillow for years.  We keep buying them and then throwing them out because they're not firm enough!  He just found an excellent solution from The Wool Company in England: a pure wool pillow.  It's packed with 100% wool filling.  They also sell extra bags of wool so that you can add stuffing as the pillow goes flat.  Genius.

Monogrammed Pillows

I checked out the latest Martha Stewart Living from my library. It had some great ideas. I really liked these monogrammed pillows. See more monogram projects here.

Cardiac Pillow

My friend (the director of the place where I worked in Missouri) is having heart surgery today. So I made her this pillow to squeeze as she recovers. The embroidery pattern is from a Martha book, and the fabric is grey linen. I'm thinking about her today and wishing for a speedy recovery!

T-Shirt Pillows

Much of my sewing consists of straight(ish) lines. Last week I took a couple of old t-shirts and turned them into throw pillows for our chairs. They turned out kind of fun. The pink one is from the Boathouse in Forest Park (in St. Louis). The yellow one says, "I'm a Friend of Historic Rocheport, Missouri." That's the town where we used to live, so these will be fun to have around.
