Couch Pillows

Here are a few pictures of my new couch pillows.  I found the orange silk pillows on sale after Christmas. They have a more vivid color than the picture shows.  It was a bit bland so I dyed my old pillows that were off-white cotton.  The embroidry was also cotton so it took the dye well.  I used navy blue and with the two different fabrics made a cool contrast. I then used some orange embroidry thread to make french knots and a straight stitch around the seams. And there you go!  It was very quick and the results is very nice.  Now I just need to cover the off white chair. That will take longer!!!
