…My problem has a name and it is: Target.
Why can’t I go there and just enjoy the view?
No. I have to get something.
The colors… the price… my head that can’t stop making things UP!

Before I knew it I was in trouble, praying for every light to be green on the way back home.
It was time… TIME to make some Kitchen Towel Pillows.
So, this is how we did it…
And this week it didn’t help that while visiting the store I remembered
the gorgeous fabric that I had received in the mail just a few days before.
MATERIALS
Fabric
Vinyl- Find It HERE
Sew Machine – Thread
Acrylic Craft Paint
Ribbon
Scissor
TUTORIAL
1
I cut a bunch of triangles and sewed them together
so both sides would look good.
2
I traced where I wanted the little banner to be
and I pinned the triangles and the ribbon to the pillows.
At this point I ended with something like this…
Don’t you love the colors? I do!

It was VINYL STENCIL TIME!
I designed this vinyl stencil using my vinyl machine cutter.
All you need to do after you have the stencil is to rub it, transfer it, place it and after applying the paint peel it away!
3 {and a half}
I called in the reinforcements… My girl helped me paint the fabric!
{REMEMBER tap… tap… tap…}
If you were in my home at this point you would have heard her saying:
“I KnOw mamá”

More reinforcement time to sew and put everything together.
My other girl took care of the hand stitching….
{I L♥VE my GIRLS}
{I L♥VE my GIRLS}
…while I took care of the sewing machine.
You’ll be done before you know it!

Time to fill up the pillow cases!
Just like that they came alive.
{It’s funny how the same thing happens with our hearts… More we fill them with the right “batting”
more alive they become}
Soooo happy!
So, let’s take a minute… let’s sit down for a second and think about the donut instead of the hole. Let’s think of the blessing, of the people that love us, of the beauty of this world we all share.
What I am trying to say is….
Life is too short… therefore we should
Enjoy The Ride!
The beauty of vinyl stencils is that you can use them any surface… Look how good it looks on wood!
Thank you for stopping by today!

Okay seriously these are the cutest darn pillows I have ever seen! Love the stencil, the quote, and of course the colors. Terrific!
Oh please, please let me win those fabulous stencils! My friend is an AVID biker and that would be the PERFECT gift for her!
I love that your helpers are so enthusiastic!
Keep up the good work!
Those are so adorable! Love the bike especially.
These are fantastic! Is there any chance you would consider selling one of the vinyl stencils? I love this project and would like to make something similar for my sweetie.
Love your work. Thanks for inspiring.
That is my favorite color combination and as a cyclist, I love the stencil. This was my first visit to your blog, but I'll be back! 🙂
Your creativity has just made me smile! They are gorgeous, colorful, and so full of life! You did an amazing job! I adore those triangles you did! The stencil is so great on there! Great job! I am definitely going to follow your work! Thanks for the giveaway!
Those are really cute. I love the color combination. The little pendants make it very fun. Love the saying too. So true!
I adore every single thing about these. Just lovely! I shared them in my Saturday Seven lineup this morning. http://www.positivelysplendid.com/2011/06/saturday-seven-no-16.html
Love this red and aqua combo! How many towels did you use? I'm guessing two for each pillow?
Adorable!!
