Shabby French Throw Pillows

I have been having fun at the sewing machine,
making these Shabby French Pillows.

I want to send out a huge
"Thank You"

No. 31
Audrey Hepburn, the Eiffel Tower
& dainty little white buttons. 

The front of these two pillows is done in a quilted fabric of white with white stitching.

The back closure is done with two little bows.

Do you have a sofa or bed 
that these would look pretty on?

A pretty throw pillow can be to a bed, 
chair or sofa . . .

of an ice cream sundae.
