I've had this tea towel for ages. I think it was in a box of linens from my Mom. It was badly stained on the top portion that is off white. The colors and subject remind me of autumn.
So I decided to make it into a little fall pillow.
I cut around the image and framed the image with off white muslin to make it the right size for a pillow form.
Added the vintage rick rack around the edge.
Here it is in it's new home in the hallway under the Hall of Fame. I think it cozies up the little bench and adds a little touch of autumn.
I've been busy decorating and will have lots to show you in the near future. I've also been busy adding stuff to my
Etsy shop. It's still in the 90's here, so kind of a struggle to feel like fall. Hope you are enjoying nice weather. See you next week!

Thanks so much Deb. I wish it felt more like fall, but I know the weather will change soon. Have a good week!
DeleteI wish I could even "fake" sewing. You do such good work. I can't imagine having 90 degree temps still. It's been warmer than usual for MI, but not quite that hot. I can't wait to see what other projects you've been up to!
ReplyDeleteHi Leslie, I sure love your darling vintage fall pillow. It looks perfect in your hall under the framed photos. Looking forward to your decorated home. I've been busy with the same and today we worked outside in the garden trimming and cleaning up. It was so hot I felt a bit of heat exhaustion. Sure hope it cools down soon. Have a great rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Celeste. I'm glad I got to make this into something usable finally. Can you believe it's still so hot. I'm so looking forward to a cool down. Have a good week!
DeleteThe scene in your towel is great. Brilliant idea my dear. We are finally in the upper 80's but it is still hot. I know how you feel. I can not wait for cooler weather here.

Your vintage towel turned into a pillow looks perfect for Fall, atop your bench, Leslie. Have I ever told you that my DR chairs are in the same buffalo check fabric? I made a pillow out of some leftover fabric. Are we ever going to get some cooler temperatures? Happy weekend to you!
