Green Organic Chair Pillow

 
Our copies of Alabama Studio Style are arriving to our studio today and will be shipping out today and tomorrow!

 
Thank you to everyone who pre-ordered. As a thank you, all of the pre-ordered books are being shipped with a little gift of a yard from our Green Organic Cotton Jacquard and inspiration for a project using both Alabama Studio Style and Alabama Stitch Book.
 
This Green Organic Cotton Jacquard is one of my favorite fabrics and the one that I used to make the Chair Pillow pictured above. Make one for your home by using the Chair Pillow instructions starting on page 152 of Alabama Studio Style along with appliqué instructions from page 62 of Alabama Stitch Book.
 
May the book(s) – and the projects that you will make – fill your homes with warmth and great stories…
