A Couple Of New Pillows

Here are a couple of new pillows I made to try out in my booth.  I haven’t put any pillows in there yet, so we’ll see how these two do.  I thought maybe with Mother’s Day coming up they might sell.

I did a Paris one with this great graphic I found on Pinterest.  I used the Ballard Design Document fabric for the back.

The black flower is a pin I got at Joann’s a few months ago.  Notice the tag?  I’ll explain that in a minute.  The second pillow is one especially for Mom.

I thought this was a sweet graphic and perfect for Mother’s Day.  I did the back on this one with a dark red and white toile that depicts a mother and child, among other images.

This one also got a flower pin with a pretty doily I got in a recent swap.

So, as to the tag.  That is the tag that came on the pillow insert.  Apparently, in Ohio, if you are selling upholstered or bedding type items {decorative pillows fall into this}, they have to have a tag on them saying that if they are second hand they have been sprayed with a product like Steri-Fab.  You have to be registered to spray it because then there is a tag you attach saying it’s been sprayed and your registration number.  If you are selling new, the only thing I was able to find out is that you have to send a sample of your filling to them to be tested {for a fee} and you have to register for $50.00 for the year.  I want to sell a couple of pillows!  I use all new materials when I make my pillows, so I decided to try making these with the pillow insert tag hanging out to see if that will satisfy the inspector when he comes around, to show that they are newly made.  We’ll see what happens.
