Moda Hometown Table Runner and Pillows

Hello!
Several months ago a friend gave me a "jelly roll", one of those cool rolls of precut stripes from Moda Fabrics. They come on so many pretty prints! Mine was Hometown by Sweetwater.
I finally decided what to do  with it.  Well, part of it, the blue and red stripes.  It's amazing how a jelly roll goes a long way.
First, I made a table runner using this tutorial again.  I followed the same tutorial to make a Christmas table runner last year. Now I have a table runner to use all year long on my Ikea trunk that I use as a coffee table.  I store extra blankets inside.

This was back in March.  Since I had more fabric in the same colorway, I made some pillows.

I don't know how to call this one. The ric-rac pillow? It is smaller, the fabric was almost gone!

I made the backs using a red Moda Marbles fabric I had at home.

Sorry about the bad picture. This was before making the last pillow.
I am not a quilter, I don't have a fancy sewing machine, but I really enjoyed making these projects! Now I still have yellow and grey fabric from the same jelly roll, and I am thinking... soon I will post new stuff.
I have been lazy on my blogging. 

So, let me share some pretty Spring flowers I got recently.

My husband gave me red roses.

I have been cutting lavender from the garden.

Smells so pretty!

And a dear friend of mine gave me these beauties!
Anyways, I am working on a couple of new things, and hope to post again soon.

Have a great day !

Some pretty pillows I want to make.

Hi!
I have so many projects on my to-do list!
The problem is that I keep adding more! :)
I have lots of DIY/ furniture painting on the list. My living room really needs a makeover.
So, I decided I also need some new pillows to change things a bit.
Looking around on blogland I found some amazing ones...

Mercedes in Spain, made this simple but beautiful selvage pillow. You can find her blog here.
I just started collecting selvages.  If you like the idea,take a look at more selvage projects on the Selvage blog.

 I always loved the cathedral window pattern. Since the first time I saw it. Amazing.
You can find many tutorials online. Some made by hand, some involving some machine sewing.
Warmth in the North has a great tutorial here.

And this Rolled rosette pillow using recycled t-shirts! How cool is that?
Wendy, from Craft Goodies made it and tell us how to make this beauty on her blog.

Three beautiful pillows on my list! There is more, but I have to show you another day.
I have some sewing to do!
Thanks for visiting!
