…perfect contrast of colors and textures!
At the heart of it all…this fabulous graphic that I found here at Vintage Printables…a wonderful source for vintage graphics! I added the French title (I can’t seem to resist doing that) and flipped it for you for use as an iron-on transfer.
I simply printed it on iron-on transfer paper and applied it to a scrap of linen. Next I raveled the edges and stitched it to the front of my burlap pillow cover. To save money, I made the back of Osnaberg…an inexpensive linen look-alike. I used an envelope-style closure (tutorial here) to allow me to reuse the down pillow form…under $3.00 from Goodwill. And…even better…I just take the cover off and put it away when the seasons change! Good deal because I was developing a huge pillow storage problem before I started making envelope closures! lol 
Our CEO Ozzie seems to approve and gives a nod to the corners as especially nice! :-)
And here it is! It cost absolutely nothing since I already had everything in my stash and I can use it all the way to Thanksgiving! Woo hoo! And next year I can even pull it out at the beginning of September to use! A seasonal pillow that I can use for three months…now that’s my kind of project!Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed a little peek at my project! Please visit these wonderful bloggers and their beautiful blogs to see what they are up to and to find a list of this week’s participants!

I LOVE IT Debbie!! That last pic is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous and the timing is perfect! I was drooling over some napkins at Williams-Sonoma at $9.99 each and deciding if I wanted to buy two and make pillows!! I didn't (too cheap) and this graphic is SO similar! Thank you for your generosity! Your style and eye for design are impeccable.....there is rarely ANYTHING I don't love here!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this and thanx for sharing the image Debra! I need to make some fall pillows for around the house.Hope your weekend is going well.
ReplyDeleteI think this is my favorite of all your creations, Debbie! It's so sweet and a little rustic, too! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen too much of Ozzie...as CEO, does he take off golfing a lot? ;-D
XO,
Jane
Fantastic....you have the best ideas!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful image, Debbie! I love how you add the text to go with the images. This as such a great rustic, Fall look to it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!! :)
ReplyDeleteDebbie this graphics transfer stuff was all new to me before blogging. I am going to buy a new sewing machine so I can make some pillows. You have inspired me.
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is just lovely. Love the bright orange on the transfer. Beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, your pillow is so pretty. The colors of the graphic are wonderful! You really did a great job!

Kitty seems to love it too.

Deb love the picture of Ozzie scratching himself on your pillow. Another clever idea from our master DIYer!!! I sent you a couple of pins that had your name written all over it from pinterest with the @ application. Happy Sunday dear friend,

Beautiful pillow, Debbie. All your fall projects have been wonderful. Thanks for the graphic. I saved it for future reference.
ReplyDeleteKitties always seem to love the corners, don't they? I love the pillow!! Thanks for the flipped image!! I just might make this!! =) Deanna
ReplyDeleteYou, my dear, are a veritable font of talent, and I am proud to call you my friend!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am slaughtering the King's English, let alone French, all over the internet as I have absconded w/ Mr. M's IPAD/IPOD? and can't see the print. It's miniscule. Anyhow, I have it for the day, but then I have to go work. BOO!
Ozzie is such a great helper, Debbie. You need to train him to sew next. I wonder if it's ever been done... a cat who sews? That would be a cute children's book. I'll have to ponder that.
XO,
Sheila
Another grand slam, Debbie!
ReplyDeleteIt's the perfect fall pillow! Of course nothing could hold a candle to that lovely and handsome staff of yours :) Thank you for the printable! xo, Andrea

ReplyDeleteI adore what you did with that fabulous graphic! Adorable on that burlap. I have tried several printers and am very unhappy with them. Can you tell me which one you have? It does a fabulous job....thanks.
ReplyDeleteNice design, Debbie. Love the tattered edges.
ReplyDeleteI want to make an envelope pillow, so I will check out your tutorial. I love this pillow--the pumpkin graphic is great. I really like decor that can be used for a long time--the pumpkin works all fall long--neat!
ReplyDeleteps--Loved seeing beautiful Ozzie--what a coat!
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous project Debbie! Thanks so much for sharing your talent and creativity with us at Inspiration Friday each week! :-)
