Love the scrap buster fall pillow and floor pillows!
Oh gosh I’m off to check out the floor pillow.
WOW – just look at all these wonderful projects!! And those delicious looking scones! I love that pillow. Plus, I’m curious on how to stipple!
What inspirations I always find here. I just love those notecards and the journal, too. The hot water bottle covers have me wishing I owned one!
Thanks again for the wonderful opportunity to win a lovely prize.
Those scones look absolutely delicious! And I am personally making all of my friends some rice heat therapy bags for the holidays. Great ideas as always. :] And that journal is oh so cute!
I can hardly believe how quickly the holidays are coming- thanks for the inspiration!
Wow! The Rice Heat Therapy Bag Tutorial is a great idea! Very nice! Thank you for the tutorial!
I love the idea of using a hot water bottle. It really is a comfort.
Oh…these are so lovely. As always, I appreciate you introducing me to such talented artists and reminding me to see the beauty that is all around me. Thanks for the chance to win these treasures.
I love the quilted hot water bottle covers!
I made a bunch of heat therapy bags for my work gift exchange last year and they were very well received. I am also in love with the tree pillow – definitely something for the to-make list.
i like the fall tree pillow very much.
Wow! I love the prizes you’re offering for today! I also love the pillow patterns! There are so many cool things to make with scraps, too bad I’m just a beginner and don’t have a huge stash. Someday…
The Fall pillow is so pretty!! And the Heat therapy bag is a great gift idea for teachers so I will be doing a few of them.
Thanks for such great tutorials.
that floor pillow is great!
I have a hot water bottle with a flimsy cover that would love a quilted one, or a knitted one.
What great ideas! I love the water bottle covers.
I love the stipple quilted hot water bottle bags!
So many cute ideas today– thanks!
I love notecards almost as much as I love sewing!
love the rice heat therapy bag! such a great idea for pampering.
I have absolutely loved all of these great ideas! I love that other crafters/sewists are so generous to share their how-tos with the rest of us. (Can’t wait to try the fall pillow–I’ve been looking at that for a few weeks now!) Thanks!
Simply lovely! Thanks for another beautiful giveaway!
Love the birch journal! Happy Fall!
I’ve been seeing a lot of decorating with birch this year, love the idea of the birch votive candle holders. This journal is beautiful, especially with the blue sky background!
The journal and notecards are beautiful. I would love to win them. Thanks for all the handmade ideas. They’re wonderful.
I love the rice therapy bags. I can’t wait to start some of them to give as office mate gifts.
Many thanks for all these ideas. I love reading about all the crafts each day. I’ve gotten lots of ideas to make small things for our school bazzar. Keep up the great work.
Those pillows look amazing! I really want to make some now.
I have made rice packs in the past, and I think that I need to make some new ones!!!
Blessings,
KT
Thanks for the free downloadable wrapping paper! Cute designs and it’s always nice to have extra on hand!
Wow! The acorn print is georgeous. And I *love* the hot water bottle cover – I’m going to make one for myself!
The fall scrap buster pillow was one of my favorites last month. It is on my list to make. I never thought to use towels for floor pillows. Great idea for dorm rooms and first apartments.
Those would make some cute gifts too!
I love the quilted hot water bottle cover. My mother in law loves her hot water bottle, so that will make a nice gift! Thanks.
I am definatly sitting back and relaxing this year just enjoying all the fun ideas!
I know a couple people to make the rice therapy bags for! Thank you for all the wonderful tutes this month.

These are beautiful!
Cool prizes!
Hey Sew, Mama, Sew team – you’re making my sewing list longer and longer
Love the great handmade holiday ideas!
The hot water bottle is so cute!
I’ve been making rice bags for a long time – but just for home use – using a tube sock and a hair elastic. The tutorial takes it to a level that I can use for gifting. Thanks.
Mmm…. scones. I love this series!
I am always looking for good scone recipes, these two look great!
Those quilted hot water bottle cozies are about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. What a pick-me-up if you weren’t feeling your best.
There’s nothing cozier than a hot water bottle on a cold winter’s night. I love the way you’re having themes, covering all the bases with this HHIII…just wonderful.
I am definitely going to make a stipple hot water bottle cover for my daughter! She will love it!
The fall pillow is gorgeous!
Love the scrapbuster pillow!
What a great collection of ideas! Thanks!
I’m really looking forward to trying that scone recipe — my children love scones. Thanks!
yeah! love it!
Ok, I’m loving the pillow by Janet Clare. I’m thinking I this gift idea would be perfect for my godson who’s in college with his own and place and first professional job. I’ll just exchange the bird and words to something that fits him better. Thank you!
Thanks for the great ideas!
The stippled hot water bottle cover is gorgeous. I think I’ll plan what fabrics to use while munching on those delicious looking scones!
What gorgeous notecards! I also love the hot water bottle cover – so much nicer than an electric heating pad!
I absolutely love that fall scrap pillow. It is adorable & looks incredibly easy to make.
I love the hot water bottle covers and around house they will get lots of use.
My mouth started watering when I read the Cranberry Christmas Scone recipe! It made me want to curl up on a floor pillow (with a rice heat therapy bag!) and read a book whilst I drink tea and eat scones. I love the chill in the air! I wish fall would never end!
love that fall pillow! I’ve already giving a try at my own! scones look good…yummmy
Ooooo!! Hot water bottle cover! I’ve been needing something exactly like that, especially since my son can be “cured” of just about any night time ailment with a hot water bottle! And downloadable wrapping paper?!?! Jackpot!!
I love Allison’s pillow from the Scrap Busters Contest. The scones look completely amazing!
Love those floor pillows… who needs a sofa?
The downloadable wrapping paper idea is so cool!
Great ideas! I’ve added the therapy bags to my list of gifts to make. I love the “Birch Forest” journal!
I love Fridays, and they’re made even better when I know I get to read this blog! I’ve got to try to make one of those rice therapy bags.
I made heat therapy bags last Christmas for gifts they were a huge hit, except I used flax seed instead of rice, both work well.
Hot Water bottle covers look really nice.
Love the tutorials you have today.
Wow, just gorgeous stuff today!
so excited about the fall pillow tutorial! what a great gift idea
Rice Therapy Bags are my favorite!!! And the floor pillows coming in second!!!
It just keeps getting better! Have a great Friday!
I can’t leave a long comment today … because I’m off to start stitching some of these great projects!
I like the idea of the hot water bottle holders, especially after just reading the Anne of Green Gables series again, but I never knew where to actually purchase the hot water bottles. Any ideas?
I’m loving that hotwater bottle quilted cover–always looking for new ideas to dress up an old trick.
So I must not be the only person who enjoys using a hot water bottle. Amazing covers!
Love the Fall Pillow!
Beautiful prizes and cool ideas! Thanks!
I think the tree pillow is begging to be made.
Beautiful projects … gets the brain planning!
The quilted hot water bottle is beautiful. Maybe my mother-in-law could use one of those.I really like the blue sky thinker pillow for one of my brothers-in-law. he’s always hard to buy for. And those scones are definitely on the menu for the holiday season. Thanks!
I’ve made & given away stacks of the rice heat therapy bags & they’ve always been well recieved & used!! We even used them this summer by putting them in the freezer! Great stuff!
What great ideas! I especially love those hot water bottle covers
I love that tree pillow. Thanks for all the great gift ideas and recipes.
I really like the rice heat therapy bag. I’ve done them before as gifts, now I’d like to do one for me!
I want those notecards!
They are all so evocative of curling up and keeping warm. I’m a big fan of Janet Clare and that cushion is fab.
The quilted hot water bottle is fantastic! I love using my hot water bottle in the winter and this is a perfect addition.
Wow just what everyone needs for the holiday rush. Can’t wait to try those cranberry scones.yummy.
These are great ideas for a cozy rain filled day. Thanks
another round of fun projects, if you use flax seed instead of rice in the heat pack you won’t get that cooked smell when you put it in the microwave because the flax has a higher oil content. Just don’t get them wet or you will have a pack full of sprouted flax seeds.
I could use a heat therapy bag on my shoulders now
That Fall pillow really is gorgeous–I am glad to see it featured again here.
I have been eyeing that tree pillow… now I want to make the scones too!
Fall is my fave time of year. I would love these notecards.
The hot water bottle cover is just the thing for me. Thanks for some great tutorials.
love those cards!! too sweet.
I love the hot water bottle cover. I also just love Handmade Holidays. I look forward to it everyday.
Great pics today! I wish someone would knit that water bottle cover for me.
Cozy bath towels for pillows = brilliant!
I just want to curl up with a blanket and a good book … I love the cozy pillows.
pretty things
I love the pillow idea! I will have to make some for my living room!! I wanted to get pillows but the towel ones will add great texture to the living room and something I can wash easily!!
mmm all those cozy ideas! I’m thinking about making *myself* some of those rice heat therapy bags to keep in my office at work! reduce stress + keep warm in a chilly office!
Thank you so much for the homemade holiday pages. I have already started a few projects for Christmas presents. My husband and I are on a very tight budget this year being newlyweds and this makes it easy to still give presents. Plus they are more thoughtful. Thank you thank you. I LOVE this site!
The journal looks so pretty! I wish we had birch trees where I live!
the Floor Pillows are a great idea for anyone with small children – we moms (and dads!) spend far more time on the floor — might as well be cozy and chic!
i want to make the Scrap Buster Fall Pillow.
Oh I love the rice heat bag, I need to make a few of those for gifts!
The rice eye pillow looks wonderful.
More great ideas! I made the rice heat therapy bag last year and I was very impressed with the directions and how mine turned out.
Those “Blue Sky Thinker” pillows are beautiful!
Such great ideas, and I need new rice bags. I will be out of computer range for a few days.
Mary Ann
Love, love, LOVE the pillow!! Thanks for giving away all of these wonderful prizes!!
Oh, wow! I love that water bottle cover to pieces! I think I’ll have to make one of those for sure. And the rice bag. And some pillows! Thanks so much for all the great ideas.
I love those rice therapy bags!
I love the idea of repurposing the suit fabric for the blue sky thinker cushion. Great idea!
I love the Scrap Buster Fall Pillow! Rice bags are the best too – and so easy to make!
These ideas are great the knit water bottle cover would be pretty easy to recreate with some thrifted wool sweaters.
i like the therapy bag and the tree pillow!
The blue sky thinker pillow looks perfect
The leaf pillow is my favorite! I loved it during the scrap busters contest and I really love that you’ve showcased it here too. I think it would also make a lovely baby quilt/wallhanging for baby’s room.
I love handmade holiday Month. Thanks for all the great ideas. I am going to make some new pillows, this gave me some great ideas.
Both the journal and the notecards are gorgeous. I remember seeing the rice heat therapy bag before and thinking it would be perfect for my mom, but this is good timing because I was just agonizing over what to do for her for Christmas! Thanks!
Love that pillow! zthanks for the ideas!

The rice bags are another quick & easy idea. I also like the birch forest. I’ve dreamed of using that subject for quilting but I’m not an art quilter so I haven’t had the guts to embark on that journey.
I’m planning on making the rice/heat therapy bags for some friends. Love your site. You have such great and interesting things.
I love those hot water bottle covers! The knit cover makes me want to learn how to knit! I must make some!!

Ooh, I love the Lisa Congdon giveaways! I’ve already printed out the scrap pillow idea – it’s on my project wish list.
I love that blue sky thinker pillow, definitely on my make list!
Really cute items today…made me really wish I had a sewing machine…but the note cards and journal would be a great gift for myself this holiday season.

Those scones are amazing! I can’t wait to make that tree pillow too!

if only my dear aunt selma were still around for one of those lovely hot water bottle holders. she was nuts for hot water bottles (which i also thought was weird), and one heck of a crafty gal herself.
The Rice Heat Therapy Bag is sweet and would be so useful. Especially right now. I’d better get on it.

Love those hot water bottle covers and I have that fabric! I think I’ll copy that project. Thanks for the idea!!

I am using that cute pillow as a beginning to a wall hanging. I just love it and have my friend is making one too.
I love it when I see a project, and have someone immediately in mind to make it for, fantastic!

I love those notecards!
Love the hot water bottle cover tutorial.. i have to make one!!
I really love the scrap buster pillow. I think I’m going to use this idea for decorations for my daughter’s 1st birthday. It would be with paper instead of material.

I love the scrap pillow!
I like the idea of the scrap buster pillow. It would be cute for family members to write something that they are thankful for on each of the leaves while celebrating Thanksgiving.
Love the rice bags. I made mine out of flannel for that warm and fuzzy feeling. Also made a long narrow one for a neck roll (5″ x 18″)
I just moved into a new (but old) house, and it is very leaky; I could definitely use a hot water bottle, and if I am going to have a hot water bottle, I should definitely have a cover for it!
Hi, just today found this blog and I have to say that it looks impressive. I totally concur with your post. Have a good day, keep up the nice effort and I’ll definitely keep reading.
