Giving Thanks - Cuddle® Minky Applique Pillows

There are so many things to be thankful for. Especially now at this time of year, we step back and reflect on everything we are grateful for-- like good health, loving family, wonderful kind-hearted friends, food to eat, clothes to wear, a warm bed to sleep in, and shelter...and there’s so much more of course. We think you’ll like this tutorial on a pretty pair of Cuddle® applique pillows, embellished with the words “Give” and “Thanks” - and how fun as a pair! Perfect for some pretty Thanksgiving holiday décor, but appropriate too for all year ‘round.

Polly of Pieces By Polly designed the pillows and created the tutorial.

The pillows feature Cuddle 3® and Embossed Ribbon Cuddle® from the Kozy Cuddle® Collection - for the front, Cuddle Cake Squares in Hot Chocolate - for the back, and applique of Luxe Cuddle® Rose in Snow White.

*Note that some of these might not be available any longer but you can easily substitute other fabrics.

For the fronts - Polly used Embossed Ribbon Cuddle® Brown and Cuddle 3® Brown, from Kozy Cuddle®:

For the backs -- she used Cuddle Cakes Hot Chocolate- look at all of the luscious textures:

And, for the applique embellishment, Luxe Cuddle® Rose Snow White:

To stuff the pillows, Polly used Home Elegance® Pillows 20″ x 20″ but you can also use 50+ oz. Poly-Fil® Premium Fiber Fill. Polly also used Smooth Fusible Fleece Interfacing by Fairfield World...plus some additional supplies...

Here's the view of the pillow backs. Aren't they pretty?
