You will note a small piece of trim toward the bottom right of the photo.
I am a little perplexed why some writing would be in English and some in French, nevertheless, I like it. There was a pillow in the fabric store made with this fabric, this trim, and black flat edging. The price was $173!!! I thought, hmmmm, I can make that. The fabric was on sale for $30 a yard, so I bought 2/3 of a yard and will get 3 pillows out of it for $25! I have several down pillow inserts from GW for $2 and $3 each.
Ta da!!
The date is in English, but the paragraph of writing above it is in French.
This photo shows the pretty braid and then the flat black edging made from fabric left over from a sewing project a few years back.
I thought the corners were interesting. I give credit to the person - whoever he/she is - who made the pillow in the store. I just copied the idea.
Check out these little burgers and fries that Daughter made for Father's Day.
Look again, they are dessert - yep, cupcakes with a brownie inside, along with green icing and red icing to resemble lettuce and tomato. The "fries" are sugar cookies. That's some kind of metamorphosis! My daughter loves Bakerella's site, where she found this clever idea, along with LOTS of other great treats. Check it out!
I'm joining the following parties:
Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Met Monday
Rhoda at Southern Hospitality for Today's Thrifty Treasures
Linda at Coastal Charm for Nifty Thrifty Tuesday
Hope you have a wonderful week. Blessings to you. Linda

Great job on the pillows Linda! I have noticed downunder we have had a big surge in images of the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben and the Empire State Building...framed, printed on bed linen and other decor items all in black and white.
BTW I am not even looking at those burgers and fries in case I gain more pounds! LOL!!
Warmest Hugs,

I love love love that fabric, I went to a home show that had a chair covered in that fabric and I fell in love! Feb.12 is my bday, so I so would have bought that fabric too. The pillows turned out so pretty. And your daughter is very talented. Our daughter is in college to become a pastry chef! Thanks for sharing, Sue

That pillow is fantastic. You did a very good job on that. I will be making some pillows sometime. I haven't sewn in so long. I love pillows and can't wait to start. I love that fabric you got. I didn't know you could get that many pillows out of 2/3 yard of fabric. Good to know.
Beautiful pillow! I do love that fabric!
Manuela
That pillow is amazing Linda..love it~!

Great job with the pillow. I really love the design....Kathy
The pillows are gorgeous! I bet you almost choked when you saw the price on the original. Good for you that you took the idea and ran with it, they came out beautifully. And those "burger and fries" are such a great idea. They look so real, and I bet they were delicious. Kat
I love your pillow Linda! It turned out beautifully! But I am perplexed. Who would pay $173 for a pillow!!
I'm in the wrong line of work. hehe.

I'm on the search now for that beautiful fabric. How interesting are those corners. It is so fun to see new things to duplicate. Have a joyous 4th. Sally
Hi Linda! What a great share! I'm loving this Fabric, what store did you purchase it from if you don't mind my asking? The Father's Day refreshments from your daughter are really precious, and I'm sure they were tasty! I'm hoping we can go with Debbie together sometime to the local Hamilton Mill Goodwill when you're up for a weekend Saturday! It might be fall though before I can go with you. I have a new grandson as of yesterday and we'll be heading to Charlotte twice montly for awhile. He is a doll! Have missed visiting you! Hugs! ~CC Catherine
