Grain sack pillows~the first cut is the deepest

 Last May, I purchased this GRAIN SACK at the Day in The Country Sale hosted by Kim Davies -here is a link to my post about the  November sale I also attended.  http://myrusticfarmhouse.blogspot.ca/2012/11/tattered-torn-day-in-country-sale.html 
 I actually took scissors in hand, took a DEEP breath and went for it!
 This is the INSIDE of the grain sack! I think it's gorgeous!
Here is a photo of the pillows I am making with both the inside and the outside of the grain sack. But I am feeling guilty about cutting it! Looks like I will just have to get another one! ;)

    I love your pillows. They have that rustic charm that says cozy and comfortable.
    I want to thank you for following my blog. I'm excited to met you and to get to know you better through blogging. Have a lovely week. Your blogging sister, Connie :)

    Love the patched one! It reminds me of the one I'm in love with from A Beautiful Mess.

    Your home is gorgeous!! Found your blog through Debbie Nolan's blog and I must say I just love your sense of style. You have a unique flair and if I had the money, I'd beg you to come do over my house!

      Thanks Melissa! It 'WAS' awesome wasn't it!?! (boohoo) still feeling guilty!....but yes does make for good pillows! I have been going CRAZY over here sewing, painting, primping, changing, making-the editor at Country Sampler has told me she is interested in featuring our home for a 2014 issue! SO I am sending her photos as I complete rooms and if she likes what she sees she will set up a photo shoot! We need to fix some things in our kitchen!! I am not lucky enough to have a kitchen awesomely done like YOURS! ;) haha I have already been in contact with the photographer-same one that was going to shoot my home for Romantic Prairie Style-before it cancelled!! I hope it happens!-my girls want to see their room in a magazine! Keep you all posted!
