patchwork pillows
During the weekend I made some pillows...suddenly I felt the urge to finally do something with a pile of fabric and leather waiting in our closet and to be honest...I'm quite happy with the result...my husband was very impressed he said...that was nice to hear...but taking nice images is just so hard...the idea to create a patchwork pillow was definitely inspired by the beautiful patchwork quilts from Arounna...
...and I made these ones, a little while ago I tried to use my gocco print for the first time ... also on the linen fabric, so it was kind of an experiment, but I think it looks nice enough to place these pillows on our cough...sorry for this post no links to other websites or shops, I just wanted to share the things I made for our home, hope you like them.
Great colors working in the patchwork pillows and I LOVE the linen gocco printed pillows -- those are beautiful!

Allebei erg mooi! De kleurenkombinatie van de leren kussens is prachtig.

i love the linen pillows! did you have to use the fabric ink and screens for your gocco, or did you just use the regular paper inks? i have been curious is the fabric ink is really necessary because it seems to print just fine without it. nice job!

beautiful pillows! the patchwork ones are really unique and the linen ones so pretty and simple. i make pillows too, and i agree that trying to photograph your own work is tricky! these look great though.

I love your beautiful pillows, and adore teh gocco print on linen. I was also recently inspired by Arounna's beautiful quilts and made a duvet cover for my neice's 3rd birthday.

The Pillows look lovely Irene, I think the gocco print looks great on the linnen.
