Pretty Pillows: 40 Inspiring Projects to Grace Your Home

Includes instructions for creating different styles of pillows using applique, needlepoint, patchwork, ribbons, tie-dye, and more

Pillows can add a much-needed final accent to a room, or they can be an integral part of a complete decorating scheme. They needn't just be square, round, or rectangular either: As this handsome book shows, they can be hexagonal, spherical, cubic, heart-shaped, and bolster-shaped. Choose from nicely presented country, exotic, Victorian, ethnic, or contemporary styles. Piece a pretty patchwork chair cushion, needlepoint a leopard print, create a silk painting, perfume the bedroom with a potpourri cushion, transform a child's drawing into a special pillow, or select another of the 40 beautiful projects. Each pillow design has a materials list, full step-by-step directions, relevant tips, clear diagrams, and excellent color photos.
