Blair’s blue plaid pillow + upcoming patterns

Blair of Wise Craft made this stylish Plaid Windows Pillow (zippered cover and form). Available in her Etsy store, here’s how Blair described the fabrics and stitches she used to create it.

The plaid windows in this design are from a vintage jacket, the rest of the blocks are a combinations of corduroy, quilting cotton, and coarse weave hopsack. The front of the pillow is free-motioned quilted with a loop-d-loop pattern that I just love to do.

I love every one of her patchwork pillows and I’m not alone. In a recent blog post she announced she has committed to creating a pattern for this pillow and others after receiving numerous requests from readers. Lucky us. Go HERE to learn more.

With each page promising glimpses into the past and the present, I’m bracing myself for a heartwarming journey filled with love, hope, and the spirit of giving.

Being a part of the Elm Creek Quilts series has been a joyous experience, and I can’t wait to unwrap the magic of “The Christmas Quilt / The New Year’s Quilt” this holiday season. So, no spoilers, please—let the enchanting tale unfold as I cozy up with this beloved series once again.
