Oi! Just in the nick of time! I just bought four new feather pillow forms! I was going to start tomorrow but I’m waiting on pillow month now!

Awesome!
ok, well I am *just* getting over my patchwork fears and actually just posted my first patchwork pillow today, so all I have to say is “perfect timing”! =) I have 2 large pillows for our LR that I can’t commit to in terms of ‘what to do’, so hooray SMS!
Oh, that sounds great! I can’t wait to see your ideas. I am working on a pilow at the moment, too, so that comes just at the right time.

oooh can’t wait!
I am actually really excited about this! I have been thinking of making a pillow for the past couple of days now, trying to come up with a concept in my head. This motivates me! Thank you!
Looking forward to some pillow inspiration in February!
Thank you..really informative!!
How uncanny… I was just at the fabric store thinking I should start planning out some pillow covers for my living room… perfect timing! I love how there are always such great ideas & inspirations to be found here.
Great! I need some new pillows for my couch, but I’ve been putting the project off. This will be just the inspiration I need to make something cute!
PERFECT! Someone asked me to gift them pillows last fall. Maybe now I’ll get off my duff!
Neato! I’m looking forward to all the great ideas you’ll be throwing our way.
Woo hoo! Love the SMS theme months… I’ll be cranking out pillows for my lounge, bedroom, & maybe a few gifts too! Thanks SMS crew!
Yay, I am looking forward to it! I have been itching to make some new throw pillows…
Yay! I have always wanted to get into pillows so I’m looking forward to the tutorials!!
Oh, goody! I need some summery pillows for our sofa…maybe a furry one or two for the boudoir… *eager*
perfect.. i’ve been on a pillow kick. can’t wait.
Sweet I’ve been thinking about pillows for a while and just started to work on one. Perfect timing! Thanks
THANK YOU!! Perfect timing to get me out of my sewing rut. This is exactly what i need to freshen the house and my crafting!
I look forward to some tutorials on pillows
Hello! That’s so good news! So many of us are now fond of making pillows – Pillow Month is great idea! I would love to join!
Sunny wishes from Crete! Teje
It sounds super!
This is great, I am looking forward to picking up some new tips and techniques!
Yay! I’m so excited! I’ve bought fabric to make some pillow covers but I’m not too experienced in making pillows. Can’t wait!
I’m so pumped! I haven’t made a pillow in forever, and lately, I’ve been finding a ton I want but will not pay for. $60 for a “designer” pillow…they must be high.
Anyway, now I want to make them for my living room, craft room and eventually, my baby girl’s room. She’s nearly ready for a big girl bed! But this pillow is on my craft room hit list for sure: http://alisaburke.blogspot.com/2010/03/recycled-roses-pillow-tutorial.html
As so many others, I am plotting some new accent pillows. Can’t wait to see some lovely ideas:).
Yay yay yay! My husband and I were just lamenting he serious lack of throw pillows on our couches ( we DID have some), but the story of their demise is pretty (humorously) tragic. Just in time!
me and my mom are moving soon so that means redecorating! im really excited for this!
Yay!!! This sounds great and I’m ready to move on from bags, personally.
Really like the new layout. I were pleased with the content. Appreciation for your nice entry.
So excited! I have some fabric from my Grandma’s that have been waiting to make pillows for my sister!
AAH! I’m so excited!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE pillows! I’ve recently been making BUNCHES of pillows! I can’t wait!
omgosh I can’t wait. I so need this!
Sounds like a great way to get my feet wet again, haven’t sewn in years.
I am excited to have stumbled upon your blog via Jaybird Quilts! I need all the help I can get since I’m a beginner!
I love to sew pillows too.In my blog you can see some pillows which I sewed if you like.

I just made some total cheater pillow covers for our temporary home in London:http://alltherestofit.wordpress.com/2011/01/28/why-i-schlepped-my-sewing-machine-to-london-exhibits-a-and-b/
You probably woudn’t want to use them as a tutorial b/c I break ALL of the sewing rules, but they sure brightened up our little flat!
I can’t wait. “Santa” made fleece pillows for my 2 boys for Christmas. It was so much fun, I’m excited to make more!
