Wow! Summer sure has made a difference in how early I post!
I need to get a post or two ahead or pretty soon I’ll be a
whole day behind…..!
You know I like to make things from tablecloths, shower curtains, pretty much anything made of fabric is fair game for me!
I was lucky enough to come across this America tablecloth a few months ago.
I planned on doing something with it for Memorial Day.
Then there was Flag Day.
Now it’s 4th of July.
I was determined to not have to save it for Veteran’s Day…
which is in February for goodness sake!
So here are the two large pillows I made.
In the interest of saving fabric, I used red and white ticking
for the back side.
I still have enough fabric left over for a couple more projects!
I plan to take some of the “America” strips to put on some tea towels.
It coordinates nicely with the little Americana footstool I made recently

I’ve been neglecting my sewing lately and have piles of fabric to use up!
Maybe Summertime will be a good sewing time for me!
I especially love it against the green porch swing…

Love the pillows! They do look great on the green swing. Very cute project.
They are charming. Well done. Visiting from Common Ground. Olive Out
Wonderful pillows! I like the idea of it having the red ticking on the back side actually.
Receber sua visita será uma surpresa maravilhosa.
Gostaria que também seguisse o meu espaço que, a partir de hoje torna-se extensão de sua casa, para minha alegria.
With love to you!
PSALM 23
THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD,
That’s Relationship!
I shall not want,
This supply is!
MAKE ME WALK IN GREEN PASTURES,
This is rest!
He leadeth me beside the still waters,
This is refreshing!
He restores my soul,
This is healing!
GUIDE ME FOR THE PATHS OF JUSTICE,
That’s Guidance!
FOR THE LOVE OF YOUR NAME,
This is on purpose!
THOUGH I WALK THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH,
That’s Testing!
I will fear no evil,
That’s Protection!
Thou art with me,
That is fidelity!
YOUR STICK AND YOUR staff they comfort me,
This is discipline!
Prepare a table before ME IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES,
This is hope!
UNGE MY HEAD WITH OIL
That’s Consecration!
And my cup runneth over,
That’s Abundance!
SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY A follow me EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE,
This is a blessing!
AND I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD
That’s Security!
FOR LONG DAYS,
This is eternity!
May the Lord bless you and keep you!
Lucy.

Oh yeah! I love it against the green background..which forms its own stripes in a way. Glad you got it done- I would hate to see you sewing a flag at Christmas time- xo Diana
The pillowa are great. Love this fabric!
I love it! What a great idea to use a tablecloth. You get so much fabric for a great price, too.
That started out as a great table cloth, now some wonderful pillows.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a great weekend.
