THROW PILLOWS
It's true what they say; swapping out the throw pillows is a quick and cheap way to make a room feel fresh. I started making throw pillows because I've lived in apartments so long, and have needed easy ways to make rentals feel like my own.
SERIES 1: CROCHETED AND KNITTED JERSEY
Manipulating the scale of familiar things can lead to cool stuff. Knitting and crocheting at a large scale lets you really see the stitches, which I find intriguing. Also, jersey washes well and is more comfortable on summer skin that wool.

SERIES 2: FELT PILLOWS WITH STITCHED-ON LETTERING
My Sunday School teacher used to tell us stories using felt boards: felt backdrops on to which she would place felt cut-outs of people and animals, which magically just stayed in place. I think my fascination with felt began back then. It is such a simple an straightforward material; the Crayola box of the fabric world. These are some pillows for Valentine's Day. 14 x 22.
