BETSY'S QUILLOWS

My hobby is making quillows.
Each one is a Twin Size Quilt - size when opened- is about 44 by 71 inches
When not being used.... fold it into a decorative pillow... as you see in pictures below



Below are some pictures 
of the quillows I have made right now.
I have hundreds of pieces of material
with many different colors and patterns
just waiting for me to make more





Each picture is of a quilt folded into a pillow, hence the name "QUILLOW"
Click on any picture to see what the full quilt is made of

My supply of quillows already made is a little low right now --- many people ordered for Christmas---- I WILL make special orders, just give me an idea of what you are interested in

These two have
   the same pillow square,
but click on them to see
what the quilts are made of
.... they are both differnent

Remember you can Click on any picture to see what the full quilt is made of

Quillows can be made

in many designs and

for all ages

I have hundreds of pieces of material to make into quillows. There are patterns for men, patterns for women or many for children. Below is a sample of just a few Quillows that can be made, but are not done at this time



I sell each quillow for

$30.00.

I do take special orders, but depending on the material... they may cost more

INDOOR WOOD FURNITURE
On the left,
Joe's 1ST project...

a bar 
out of a large tree.

Next....
we needed a toybox.

He built us a corner hutch
One Mother's Day,
the kid's talked him
into making some end tables
to match the TV stand.


Joe has done two large projects

Our entertainment center He built it with glass doors on top, several adjustable shelves, wood doors on the bottom cupboards, and drawers for our tapes or dvds under the TV.
He also has redone
our kitchen cupboards
Jeremy bought his own house and needed some furnishings, so together, Joe and Jeremy made a chest and a dresser

He makes these canoes in two sizes.
The large canoe stands 73 or74 inches tall,

and both sizes are nice
      to show off knicknaks.
