May Giveaway Day: Picnic in the Park Pillow Cover

 


I'm participating in Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day. I woke up this morning just giddy about it. If you're new here, welcome to Field Wonderful! I hope you'll grab a cup of your favorite tea and stay awhile. If you've been here before, welcome back! I always enjoy visiting with you. Now, did somebody say something about a giveaway...

I'm giving away this Picnic in the Park pillow cover--it would liven up your home or would be the perfect summertime lounging accessory for outdoors. Cozy up with it in your garden chair or toss it under a shady tree for some reading time. Take it to the beach for some comfy sunning or to the park for an after-picnic nap. The fabric on the back is green, so there's no need to worry about grass stains!

Pillow Cover details: This pillow cover is made from vintage sheets. I love the funky patterns and finding a way to repurpose old items. It measures 16" by 16" square, has French seams, is envelope-backed, and of course is machine-washable. This giveaway is for the pillow cover only.
