Valentine's Pillows



Many years ago ( like maybe 25 or 30) Greg bought me a beautiful heart sweater for Valentine's Day. It was from a really posh little shop in the Birmingham Galleria. It cost $100. I saw it one day but thought it was way too expensive ( it was for 25 years ago) I told him about it. He went back and got it and surprised me. I loved it and wore it for years...but then it went out of style and got too small. I loved the detail of all the knit hearts and could never part with it. I thought one day...I could make pillows out it it. So my friend Judy ( a fabulous sewer that I visit teach) offered to make them for me. She is really good at pillows. She made me four.....I have 2 on my love seat in the kitchen. I love them. They hold such a sweet memory from Greg and now another one from Judy. I feel so happy that it has been recycled in such a cool way. It bring much LOVE into my life this Valentine's time.
