Holiday Pillows

I really enjoyed making a couple of holiday pillows.  First, one for Halloweenie.  It's a witch hat with a dangling spider.  I used crystals for the spider's eyes and added a bit of black netting for a bow.  Next was the Christmas pillow with the words "JOY" appliqued on.  Both pillows were pretty easy to do and great fun!  When I started making the Christmas "JOY" pillow, I decided to make it the same size as the Halloween pillow so I could use the same inside pillow for both since the two pillows wouldn't be on display at the same time.  I went to the local JoAnn's to get a pillow form and couldn't find any to match the shape I needed.  I bought a bag of fill thinking I would just make a muslin form and stuff it.  When I got home I realized that I could just stick the bag of stuffing in the pillow and it was just the right shape.  How's that!!  

Here's a quick picture of the Halloween pillow.  The rest of the pictures are in the Fall Projects 2011 photo album.

Happy sewing,
