::Opposing Triangle Pillow::

April 5, 2011 By Katie

I was late to the party last month, so here I am drink in hand.

There were projects made for the book that simply wouldn’t fit, or the technique wasn’t quite right.  The Opposing Triangle Pillow was one of those.

The colorway took some time, like everything in your closet tried on and thrown on the bed.

I love the quilting, it was like adding makeup and jewelry.

This pillow might be considered a bit of a wallflower compared to the other party dress pillows I’ve seen, but I would notice this one in a room full of pillows for sure.

Daisy Janie was so sweet and sent me the Shades of Grey fabric before it even hit the stores for the companion pillows and I think they dress it up a bit.  Kinda like a good looking date on your arm.

Invisible Zippers in all of them of course!  Consider invisible zippers your go to LBD (little black dress) to wear to the party, no envelope closure flip flops here.  Go dress yourself up for the pillow party with my add zip to your pillow invisible zipper tutorial and check out what all the other pillows are wearing.

A quilt like it is next.

    I love, love the design of the pillow. It’s fun, artistic, linear and brilliant. It’s set off lots of inspiration in my little brain.

      I love the linearness of it too. Not sure if that is a word.

    I just saw this pillow on Stitched In Color’s Pillow Party…LOVE IT! Simple, interesting, out of the box — and greys with whites happen to be a color combination I am drawn to.

Well I thought Amazon Surf was a stupid paint name Well I thought Amazon Surf was a stupid paint name and it turns out it’s because it’s not its name. We’re sleeping in the Aussie Surf;) you can see it is Boss approved. I love it with the other colors and I didn’t go purple, but that hallway sure would look good with some light apricot:) #benjaminmoore #aussiesurf
Happy ❤️ day peeps! Boss and I took a long qui Happy ❤️ day peeps! Boss and I took a long quiet walk early this morning in Fauntleroy Park, followed by Nutella banana bread and naps. Then we put the bedroom back together and I’m loving the new color with the colors in the hall and bath. The snow has been such a delightful balance of inside and outside time all weekend. More walking to enjoy the snow before the rain starts.
Snow day loveliness with a second coat of Amazon S Snow day loveliness with a second coat of Amazon Surf in the bedroom (and Boss’s nose), which is thankfully love at first sight. Multiple Boss walks and naps, and a lovely brunch. I’d love to move away from using plastic wrap on pudding to avoid the skin and went with TJ’s waxed cloth after it had cooled a bit but it left a bad flavor on the top. Any suggestions?
