Pillows and Coathangers from Scraps/Offcuts
 

Just thought I'd share some projects I put together using scraps/offcuts from a quilt I made for my Mum last year. The pansy pillow was the first - it has a quilted background, appliqued pansy and the junctions of the quilt lines have small clear glass crystals stitched on. I also embellished the pansy with a few Swarovski amethyst crystals. The basket of flowers was the second....managed to use up heaps of triangle offcuts to make the big flowers, a pile of Yoyos and lots of vintage buttons (I have inherited the family button collection Great gran/Nan/Mum's combined). From a couple of fat quarters and some purchased heart buttons I managed to cover/embellish 3 coathangers for my little sister. Good thing about this is the only purchases I made were the crystals, 3 heart buttons and the polyfill (I made my own pillow forms). Mum was really pleased with the pillows and I have promised one more to complete "the look" (she has them on her bed along with the quilt.

Coat hangers are nice, really like all those flowers on the pillows!

Wow~sew extra special. I love them all.:)

l like your idea with the crystal beads

I love the coat hangers. I found some at a thrift store but it was made using strips of fabric and braiding it around the hanger and tied in a bow at the top. Did you have a pattern for your hangers?
