A few weeks ago I found this needlepoint pillow on the Internet and asked my needlepoint friend Sarah if she thought it would work to get 6 of them and convert them into chair covers for my kitchen chairs. She thought it would work and gave me a few suggestions on what fabrics would look good with the pillow tops to expand them to fit the chairs. I loved her suggestions. Then it dawned on me that I could not remember where I had seen the pillows.............So, the project was put on the back burner.Well, today while surfing the web to find pants to fit me, which has become a huge pain, I stumbled upon the pillows. Of course, now I can't remember the fabric suggestions that Sarah gave me for coordinating, but at least I found the pillows. Any body have any suggestions?
Hope you are all having a great week.
Hugs,
Sue
Aren't those beautiful! I can totally see them as cushions in your chairs. Maybe with a plaid or striped flounce.Or a teeny floral.Adorable!
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious to me because it's exactly the kind of thing I would do. Your pillows/chairs are beautiful. Can't wait to see how it turns out...when you find out how. :)
ReplyDeleteOh Sue, I can't wait to see how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty. Can't wait to see what you decide to do with them. laurie
ReplyDeleteSue,
ReplyDeleteEvery thing about you - your looks, your home, your hospitality, your blog - everything screams 'southerner'. I am always so surprised and have to remind myself that you are from Michigan. Which I ADORE Michigan, by the way - my Mama is a Michigander. Are you originally from the South?
I love 'coming here' and taking a break from my day. And I do love your home. It is so elegant and colorful.

What a lovely pattern! I don't know what the rest of your kitchen looks like so I can't make suggestions. I'm sure whatever you choose will look fabulous. Can't wait for photos of the completed project.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

Oh those pillows are beautiful. I can't wait to see the finished chairs..
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You have such exquisite taste!
ReplyDeleteLove the pink rose needlepoint pillow! Very pretty! Stop by and see me.. I posted a rose room this week! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHello Sue, I am glad you found your pillows, I also love florals with plaids or stripes, happy weekend, Kathy.
ReplyDeletePerfect!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue :)
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what to suggest... blue plaid maybe?? Beautiful pillows though and a wonderful idea :)
Have a great Sunday!

Those needlepoint pillows are so pretty, what a wonderful idea to use them on chairs. I'm sure you could find lots of lovely fabrics to go with! The colors are so happy and fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words and prayers. They mean so much!
xoxo!
Hi Sue...I'm back from my bloggy break & glad to visit you again. I love needlepoint & these pillows are GORGEOUS. I also enjoy the sidebar pictures of your beautifully decorated home! ;-) Bo
ReplyDeleteHi, would you mind sharing where you found the pillows?
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
Those chairs are going to be so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAh, the coordinating fabric...always tricky. Just about anything incorporating the colors would work. When I made my daughters floral drapes, I used the blue out of the multi colored flowers and found a blue and white small print to go with them. I think any small check, stripe or even tiny pin dot would look great. Make sure you post the finished product!
ReplyDeleteOh Sue...love the fabric! So glad you found the pillows again! I can't wait to see how it turns out. Take before pics 'cause this would be a great Met Monday! :-)
ReplyDeleteI cannot resist a beautiful needlepoint pillow -- especially one with pink roses! What a great idea, and I can't wait to see your completed chairs.
ReplyDeleteSue- Your house is amazing! I love those pillows would be luscious as chair covers. I love the buffet in your hallway and am planning to redo one in my home in those colors. Is there ANY chance you could post a front pic of it? it looks decoupaged or is it painted? Thanks for all the inspiration! Carmen
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful piece. Looks great in the foyer. Your home is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI like the material for the cushions. A small print with the colors in the pillow would look stunning.
Happy Memorial Day!
Those pillows are beautiful! May I ask where you found them? I am looking for some needlepoint pillows. As for your fabric, I like the idea that has been mentioned a few times of a small print in the blue color.
ReplyDeleteHeather, I ordered the pillows from The Snappy - Turtle in DelRay Beach, Fl. They were all they had and the gal said that they were being discontinued. The name of the company that makes them is Dash & Albert and you can probable find them through Google. There might be a similar pattern that you like. If not e-mail me because when I got the pillows they do not match my room at all and though I love them I don't have a place for them. I would be willing to sell you some at a discounted price. Hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteI tried to comment on your blog but see that you have closed it down.
