Beautiful! ...Your pillows are absolutely exquisite! Beautiful! I also think your new header looks fabulous.<br /><br />I think the pillow size depends on the size of the furniture and the room. I happen to like large pillows. I think one large pillow can make a stunning statement. Lately I have been finding that I'm quite attracted to the long rectangular pillows. I think they give a rather sleek look no matter what the fabric. But trends change and pillows are often a wonderful way to make that change without overwhelming.<br />Great post, Debra. I have to admit I just keep going back to look at your exquisite pillows.

I have one very large decorative pillow on my bed (used to have 3 smaller) and not only do I think the look is a bit more elegant but making the bed is so much easier than fussing with the perfect placement of the three. And these larger pillows are a bit hard to find so I think you are wise to make these.<br /><br />JermaineFrench-Kissedhttp://www.french-kissed.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673962965526409194.post-49213221419297918322011-10-05T05:01:05.036-07:002011-10-05T05:01:05.036-07:00you are right-pillow size is an art form--I'm ...you are right-pillow size is an art form--I'm afraid I've made some of the mistakes you have mentioned! have a great day and visit me soon--im hosting a giveaway!HAMPTON HOSTESShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931532680749101980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673962965526409194.post-26871267371378893882011-10-03T20:36:23.822-07:002011-10-03T20:36:23.822-07:00I liked your comment on Cote de Texas so thought I...I liked your comment on Cote de Texas so thought I'd stop by for a visit.

My downsize home is small. Resting in the center of my sofa is a feather stuffed bed pillow zipper-cased covered in a fabric that reminds me of the stair tiles in the Ireland room above. It works when I want to rest there and read and it does duty as a bed pillow with a pillow case for extra company. Perhaps there are others who would like a double duty pillow.Sami Pat https://www.blogger.com/profile/16545531406668058733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673962965526409194.post-3888415147485433022011-10-03T16:18:20.613-07:002011-10-03T16:18:20.613-07:00Debra- I love your bigger pillows.
