Hi fellow quilters! I'm excited to share a new pillow tutorial with you today at the Moda Bake Shop !   It's made with the fabulous new fabric line, Heart's Content, by Laundry Basket Quilts for Moda.  I fell in love with the soft colors and delicate prints of this line created by Edyta Sitar.  * This cute home deco pillow will add a touch of class to a couch, loveseat or bench.  What's neat is with a single Jelly Roll and a bit a yardage you can make two of these beautiful pillows -- one for you, one for a Christmas gift ;) You know me -- no project would be complete without looking though my stash of Aurifil threads dreaming of ways stitch with these sweet threads.

I do hope you all take the opportunity to do the same - grab some of your most cherished fabric, buy that book, and get that quilt made!   I ...
