home made: burlap & ruffles

I am a lover of {pillows}. Toss pillows, small or large are generally an inexpensive way to dress up a sofa, change up a bed or soften a porch swing. Today I made this luscious beauty!
The added touch of silky {peonies} was such a lovely contrast to the burlap.
Recently I made these two pillows for afriend of mine ... I loved the mix of burlap and muslin, but wanted a pop of something a bit {dressier} for my own pillow ...
... on my newest pillow, the ruffles of shabby white muslin give the flowers so much added punch ...
... by extending the burlap over the end on the back side of the pillow and adding long tie closures the pillow has lots of extra {ruffly fluff} at one end ... which I {love} ...
... the floral center of the pillow is bordered with a vintage gauze like trim in a {fold-and-pleat} style ...
... the mix of textures is a great love of mine. The coarse burlap combined with soft muslin and a silky fabric just makes me want to reach out and touch it ...
