    My company had a "steward's sale" today, and I got 60 of these 26"x26" Euro pillows and pillow shams. They're brand new, never used. The pillows are still vacuum shrink wrapped even! I think I'll probably eBay a lot, but what would you do with them? The white is pretty, but they could be dyed, embroidered, appliqued....
    Give me some ideas~!

    The whole fluffy pillow and sham

    I think since they are already put together that applique would be nice. You could look for a pattern or design your own.

    Wow, you hit the jackpot. Gifts galore. If you have young ones on your holiday shopping list you can embroider their names or for any age a special occasion, birthday, valentines, even wedding or anniversary. Appliqué Would look great too. So many options.

    I would un-stitch them embroidery, applique, paint, whatever then put them back together. Wonderful back ground for your creativity.
