Fabric Friday: Custom Quillows

        Today I’ll give you a little information about quillows. I do not know the full history, but I believe they originated with the Amish. A quillow in a quilt folded into a pillow. I don’t remember how I first heard about this sensation but it has been fun. I started making them for babies and children.

Then I figured they would be good to take to sporting events. I put a strap on the quillow to make it easier to carry.

My nephew plays for the Houston Cougars (#77). Watch for him this season!

   The possibilities are endless.

Quillows have so many uses:

1. ~ Keeps you warm while watching TV or reading
   
2. ~ Great in the car
   
3. ~ Perfect for nursing home residents
   
4. ~ Pack for overnight visit to friend, grandma, or a hotel
   
5. ~ Wonderful accessory for the camper
   
6. ~ A great extra blanket/pillow for unexpected couch guests
   
7. ~ Makes a great school nap blanket or “blankie”.
   
8. ~ Makes a lovely decoration for your sofa or easy chair
   
9. ~ Picnic carryall and blanket
   
10. ~ Great for baby
    
11. ~ Soft seat or quick cover at sporting events
    
12. ~ They make UNIQUE gifts!!!

With a little practice, they are very easy to fold, or you can just stuff the quilt in the pillow and keep going! 

Now I have started making pretty quillows for the bed or couch or car.

You can find all of the quillows at Creative Art & Design  or send me an email at msbacom@comcast.net
