Pillow fight!

My husband likes the "man look" in the house.  You know what I'm talking about, deer and fish decor.  So I've tried to accommodate him for the last 3 yrs that we've lived in the same house.  (divorcee's, I gave up my home in town to live in manville, he lived alone for 12 yrs, I lived alone for 5 years) But quite frankly I feel the need for more..lets say softness around the house.  Little by little the man decor is finding its way to the back of the closet and garage.  He laughed when I showed him the pillow saying "See this is how it starts!  One pillow and then before you know it there's pillows all over the house!"    Of course he was just giving me a hard time.  So without further ado the first of many girl pillows!

And the cute little flower detail.

Even though the blues are a little different, I think they'll still go nice little with my Summer Romance quilt.
Shhh...don't tell Ross but while he's at work today I'm making some lace pillows...it's a UFO from 7 years ago when I first bought my embroidery machine.  Back then there was a big plan to make a dining room table cloth out of these, much cheaper to go buy one!  So for the sake of finishing UFO's they are going to make some cute little pillows.  The fabric shown isn't what I'll be using it's just so you can see the lace design.
Until next time "Quilt out of your Comfort Zone!"
