Default New Sofa Pillows

I haven't done much sewing this year, just lost my mojo. I started quilting my spare bed quilt and stopped about 2/3's done and it's still on the frame waiting patiently. When spring comes, I get antsy to get outside and start working on the gardens and I just never came back inside. Now it's winter or at least cold and you'd think I start quilting again but so far I haven't touched the machine.

I had my neighbor boys come over to help me rearrange my front living room furniture as it's been in the same spot for 13 years and I needed a change. No one ever uses that side of the living room either. I plan on having an entertainment center built to look like it's built in on the other end of the living room or what I call the other living room. I needed to move the cats' toys and this prompted me to do the furniture change. I like how it looks but then I decided I needed to search for another floor lamp similar to what I already have and I found one not exact but close enough. Then I decided I needed new end tables so found a couple at our local furniture store on half price sale so that was great. Luckily they work well with my 2nd hand sofa table so I won't need to replace it too.

Finally, pulled the throw pillows I had, 4 of them, washed the covers and decided they needed some embroideries on them. I also decided to add a pleated section in the burgundy as the covers are navy. Also decided I needed more throw pillows on the sofa so now I have a total of 7 in 3 sizes. All the pillow forms come from our local thrift store, I just make covers for them as new forms are so expensive these days.

Here are my pillows and last project for the year.........I added a pleated section to the navy pillows and the printed burgundy pillows also have pleated done all on one piece of fabric to fit the pillow.
