Recently, I helped a friend start clearing out things from her mother-in-law’s home.  It’s a lovely home filled with stately antique furniture, interesting art work, many sets of fine china and so many memories!

The craft room…where to start?  We could hardly walk in the door of this bedroom turned craft room.  There were craft items stacked on the floor, on the bed, on the desk and in the closet.

I left with a yard of lovely canvas weight fabric.  It’s a bright, bold print that just begs to be made into patio pillows.

I like the butterfly, even though it’s flying upside down in this picture!

These patio pillows will make a nice Christmas gift for my friend.  I think her family will use them to make new memories in this wonderful home.
