My Little Plaid Turkey

We got more snow this weekend in Colorado! It was the perfect weather to sit and work on this little pillow that's been in my head for a while. (Actually, to be honest, I have had the little turkey cut out since last Thanksgiving. But never the motivation to finish the job!)

I thought it was a cute addition to the Thanksgiving decor around here. I am debating if this guy can hang around all year, or does he have to go into hiding after the fall? I just love the colors in the plaid.

What do you think?

I *love* that plaid too... beautiful colors! Who says he has to hide after Thanksgiving? I say if you like it... keep it out!! :)

I think he looks great & should definitely hang around for a while.

Since it looks like you've got more fabric...make other pillows for other seasons. Make a scarecrow for fall, a santa for Christmas (fabric as his pack?), a bunny for spring and summer... Attach the designs with velcro so you don't have to make too many actual pillows.

I say it's your house, so its your call. I have some bunnies I leave out all year because they just make me happy! I think Mr.Turkey may do the same for you. It's adorable!

Laura said...

I love him! He is too cute to put away after Thanksgiving.

We had snow in Spokane Washington this week too! The kids loved it. . . and I had a perfectly justifiable excuse to listen to my Elvis Presley Christmas CD- not that I needed one ( :

Very cute pillow. I tried my hand at maple leaf rose centerpiece for our thanksgiving table- but couldn't find enough large leaves ( I waited too long). So I'll have to think of something else homemade to spruce the table up with this year.

I think it is adorable : ) You are so brilliantly creative! I just can't take it!

Lisa & Gerald said...

Call me traditional, but I'd put him away after Thanksgiving. He'd lose his specialness if he were hanging around all the time.
