From the Atelier Pigtown

My mother and sister are headed downtown to meet me and go over to DeBois Textiles to look for some curtains for my mother’s study. I thought I would collect the pillows that I’ve made and display them, so they could see what I’ve been doing over the past few weeks.

I am really smitten with mixing and matching the different fabrics that I’ve been collecting. Barclay Butera on a pillow with Sister Parish…

It is hard to decide which pillow I like the best. I guess it’s like choosing which of your children is your favourite!  Here are few contenders.

Barbara Barry’s Poetic Linen, with red piping.

I’ve already given away about six seven pillows!
