Necessity...

It really is the mother of invention.  My need...a small pillow everywhere I go due to back problems.  I've also decided that I need one in each chair that I spend a considerable amount of time in at home.  Those being...my office chair, my kitchen table chair, and of course...my sewing chair.  I had originally made this pillow for my sewing chair, but it made its way to my office chair and decided it liked it there. 

Meanwhile, I've been cramming whatever I could find in the sewing room to use as a pillow while sewing.  Just so you know, a wad of fabric just isn't the same as a nice, supportive pillow. :)

That led me to come up with a real solution.  I had made this table skirt a couple of years ago and had some random scraps. 

 

I have never quilted, but I've seen Jona piece things together, so I thought I'd try something new. 

Here's what I started with...

After trying a couple of things, I came up with this look...

 

I folded it in half and sewed the corners in the bottom part of the pillow...

 

I worked the pillow into its new home and stitched up the bottom.  This is what it looked like when I finished. 

This was really fun!  Next step...quilting!  (Maybe...)
