Good information. Such beautiful work and great ideas from all of you ladies.

My trailer pillow is an old sleeping bag stuff sack . At night I shove my clothes in the sack and suddenly I have a pillow. Not very decorative but yet highly functional .

These all look so wonderful especially with the cording!! And they even have some trailers.

So colorful! Those dishes are really fun.

With my tongue firmly in my cheek, here are my pillows. Actually, I have to add the second photo since I took a block of upholstery foam & stuck it inside a king sized pillow protector to use as a back rest when reading.

I have to joke about pillows, because a friend has so many on the bed in their spare room that I have to spend half the night getting them out of the way so I can sleep. I understand the need to decorate, but I guess I'm not the "piles of pillows" type!

Kinda like 'guest towels'. I crumple them just before guests arrive so they'll feel comfortable using them.

GREAT!!! So, I'm guessing yours is the bland, boring one, Nathan? And Tammy's is the far more colorful, likeable pillow?

hee, hee, hee.

Actually, I like both. Yours reminds me of trees and there's nothing wrong with that. I love the trailers put in there, as well as that goose fabric (or ducks, can't quite tell).

Actually, Jon, I've been waiting for someone to do this. I was wondering who would be first. I wonder no longer.

At the risk of showing how much I secretly know about quilting, my "bland, boring one" is not patterned after trees. The technical term for the pattern is called "flying geese". I mean really Laura, you just HAD to bring out the inner feminine in me didn't you? Trees....please!!

Well, now, that's cool to know. I had not thought of taking a sewing machine with you on trips. Tell wifey - thanks! Love the quilting she did.

Sharpies! We'll find ya at a rally and take colored Sharpies to your stuff sack. Then you'll have something decorative to show off.

Dang, learn something new every day.

So, what do "flopped down sleeping geese" look like? Or "geese eating in a field" look like?

Love all the pillows that everyone has shared! I thought I would add our pillows that I made for our 5.0TA.

Looking good! I like how the bed pillows match the valences.

Both!

I have a serving platter with a black cat on it and the saying "no dish is complete without cat hair". Saw it in a gift shop in Bandon OR and had to get it. No doubt about it.

Is that a cover over (or actually, under) your MaxxFan up in the loft? Did you make that?

War Eagle... the cover is blackout fabric that was installed by ETI with Velcro. It was standard when we got our trailer in Sept 2015, which is quite helpful as that MaxxFan cover is white.

Thanks Nrgtic4. I had fun making them. But don't look too closely. It was my first attempt at piping (cording).
