Hello to all of you Beautiful Tatertots and Jello Fans!
I am thrilled to be asked by the Ultra-Talented, Jen, to guest post today!
She inspires me seriously everyday!

My name is also Jenn and I have a little blog named RedberryBarn that I started this year. I wanted to have a way to “journal” my creative journey. I have found that if I am making something from a Card to a Wreath it makes me happy. You know the saying “If Momma’s Happy, everyone is Happy!”.
I am a SAHM of 3 cool dudes and 1 pink princess plus a hunky husband, too!
My new favorite thing to play with is CANVAS!
I just want to share with you 3 pillow projects that I have made.
{I found the graphics for the Welcome pillow and Chandelier pillow over at The Graphics Fairy blog, you will love her free graphics that you can download!}
This is my painted canvas pillow {I have houndstooth on the back}.
Jen’s Quatrefoil stencil would be great to use on a project like this. {click here}
I made a template of the diamond pattern and first used a sharpie to mark my lines. Then I painted the lines in black…the lines are not perfect {I didn’t want them to be}.
To get the most out of iron-on paper, I printed what I needed at the same time.
The “Welcome” sign is hot glued to the diamond painted canvas, of course I hot glued the ball fringe, too!
I made this for my sweet friend’s {Leslie} birthday present!
I took it to her and she hung it on her iron wreath stand.
I thought that her initials on the bottom was a special touch for a present!
I made the orange fringe out of PAPER!!
I found a fun piece of scrapbook paper and cut out the shape {Sassafrass Lass}.
Then I modge podged both sides to give it more of a shiny look and to make it a little more stiff.
I used double sided bias tape and sewed the paper inside the fold. Super Easy!
Sew the layers together first before you sew the pillow together.
I had 3 layers here with the toile, initials and paper trim.
It was also my little sister Janis’s birthday also!
So, here is her present {it is late getting to her, so she will probably see it here first! :)}
You know when you have a great present for someone when you don’t want to give it anyway!
Both of these pillows did that to me!
But, I will be good and get this one in the mail to her…
The Scroll Label is from Rhonna Farrer and I just typed in “Love at Home”.
You can have any saying you want in there! The beauty of Photoshop, right!?
I used my 1 3/4″ circle punch as a pattern to cut out the toile fabric for my homemade trim.
I also put Fray Check liquid on the edges to keep the fabric from fraying.
Just like the paper trim, sew the circles in the fold of the bias tape! That’s it!! 🙂
I also made her a barrett, using the rolled satin technique. Of cource, I had to add a little bling to it!
I hope you enjoyed these projects, the possibilities are endless.
Come by and say hi to me sometime!
{I also have patterns for the diamond pillow and the Welcome iron-on,
