Burlap Jack O'Lantern Pillow

Jack O Lantern Pillow 2 (2)

This is my prototype burlap Jack O'Lantern pillow with a couple of my velvet pumpkins.  I'll be making more of these for Briar Patch Marketplace at Hamilton High in September and Sequoya School in October, and I'll have some in my space at Merchant Square in Chandler.

Here's the pillow by itself:

If I keep making fall projects, maybe it will start feeling like fall around here!
