a pillow collector

Last night I started making a new pillow cover. Because, you know, I really need yet another pillow for our house :)


It's a little bit of EPP and foundation paper piecing joined together with some improv piecing. It really seemed like a great idea last night, let's hope it does not disappoint. Plus, I'm using only scraps, no stash allowed this time.


And, in case you wonder about why I don't need another pillow, here's the proof :) As you can see, I've become quite a pillow collector over the last few years. Most of these pillows were made by me and some were received in different online swaps.

Makes me want to run and jump into this pile of colorful softness :) Oh, and no, this is not what our couch looks like all the time, we usually  keep only 8 pillows on it.
