All of the fabrics that I used for these pillows are from FIDM and from scraps I've saved over the years. And yes, I"ll shut up about FIDM soon, I promise. It's just that I'm in a sewing phase right now and I am so grateful and amazed I can find quality material that is sooooo unique and affordable. Did I mention it's all $1.00 a yard? Now, back to the pillows. They each measure 14" X 26". The orange base is an Italian woven fabric, the imagery is made of wool felt, upolstry fabric and embroidery floss. They were made as gifts for someone who loves strawberries and peaches, and they were lovingly recieved.
I was born on April 1st in Berkeley, California. I'm enjoying a life full of satisfaction and challenge alongside my dear friend and partner, Bill, and our almost twelve year-old daughter, Annie. We have a great house and garden that we share with two dogs, nine canaries, and three fire bellied toads. We are choosing a path of living that holds everyone's needs as precious and equal. We're loving an unschooling approach to education for Annie and ourselves. We're trying to live a life with the least amount of negative impact to the enviornment. One way we're doing that is we're really trying to be mindful about what we buy, how we travel, and how we care for ourselves. I will post my ideas, challenges, and celebrations for doing so on this blog. I would love to hear any of yours too!
