Pigtown Pillow Give-Away

When I bought my little sewing machine two weeks ago, little did I know that I would fall in love with the process of making pillow covers. I am having such fun creating combinations of colour and pattern to make something new using the amazing selection of fabrics that I’ve been finding at DeBois Textiles. It’s rapidly becoming an addiction, as I dragged myself from my sickbed last week to make a run for orange juice and more fabrics!

Several people have asked if I will be selling the pillows, and I am sure that eventually I will do it on my Etsy site. But before I do that, I thought I would offer one to my readers, as a thank you for taking the time to visit and read Pigtown*Design.

I have chosen four of my designs, from which you may select one. They measure either 16x16 or 20x20 and have a feather/down inset.

Just leave a comment by Friday, February 25, letting me know which of the pillows you would like to win and I will get Connor to choose the winner.

  12. They are all awesome....but my favorite is the birds. Did you get that fabric at Deboise also? I need to learn to sew, the extent for me has been some cute bibs and burp cloths for my daughter!

  13. I would love to have #1 as an accent pillow - my mini dachshunds would be sure to love fluffing it up.

  14. Meg, I stopped into DuBois on Saturday and came out with fabric, a pair of jeans, and a great retro purse. The accent fabric on Pillow 3 is one of the fabrics I picked up to make a table cloth. What a coincidence.

  15. Wendi... DeBois is too close for comfort!

    And the accent fabric on No. 3 comes in loads of gorgeous combinations, including purple with acid green paisley!

  16. Susie... I did get that at DeBois. It's a very heavy linen. I made a pillow for my mother with the birds on it, too.

  17. SEA... They have some great fabric there with doxies on it. It's hilarious. By Barclay Butera.

  18. Hi, I'm the farthest away and therefore should be a winner! :) I stumbled across your blog last week while in my own sick bed and loved reading about the fabrics. I go to housefabrics.com to purchase interesting fabrics for decorating. However, in your pillow drawing I love #1 and #4 - The birds would match another pillow I did with birds and curry colored suede. Thanks for the interesting reading!

  19. I love the birds! Conner, your friends Cooper and Nullah say "Hello"!

  20. Meg, now that the table cloth is done, I need to find some fabric for napkins. I want to use the Anana as a coordinating trim on them. How fabulous would that be?

    ReplyDelete
  21. I would would give #4 to a client who loves birds. These are all fabulous!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I love pillow 4 - the Chinoiserie bird print!

  24. I'm partial to Pillow #1 and then Pillow #2. I live near the garment district in NYC, but I'm dying to jump on the Bolt Bus whenever you post about DeBois Textiles. I wish I was available to attend your March tours.

  25. * How sweet & thoughtful of you!

    My dog "Belle" is a bird-dog... and both she AND I love #4 because it's so pretty!
    Thanks! Again, KUDOS on your new "joy"!
