Hi Lisa, thank you!

I would like to post some close-ups for you, but I'm afraid it will be some time before I can, as the pillows are not in my home, but in my summerhouse by the sea, and I have just come back from there. It will be a while before I go back, although I'm already longing to. But I'll be sure to take some better pics and post them then.

Hi Ellen,

Thanks so much for remembering - I LOVE the pillows.  I have just been weaving with some linen and l really like it - what size linen did you use for the pillows?  20/2?

Happy weaving!

Lisa

Notes

One of my first attempts at "free play", the idea being to make as varied striped pillow cases as possible to be in a large black leather sofa in the summer house. The satin weave made my 3 chosen colours stand out nicely. The back sides were all woven one plain colour, so they could  be turned around if I got tired of the stripes.
