The letters have been broughten, peoples. Yeah, I said “broughten.” I was originally going for an Art Deco flavor but these ended up more like op art, which I also like. The plan was to use these panels to make Letter Pillows, and that is still going to happen. But why wait on us? We’re adding these to our Etsy store and folks can use them to make anything they want. In addition to pillows I can imagine piecing these panels together to make quilts, duvet covers, tote bags, chair cushions, wall hangings, table runners, what else? I’d love to hear your ideas.

Each panel is 17″ square with a half inch seam allowance for a finished piece of 16″ square. The fabric is a 7 ounce organic cotton poplin. As green as we can get!

In addition to all 26 letters we printed yardage of a matching concentric square pattern, terminating with our anvil logo in the middle. The plan is to use these for the letter pillow backs, but they look pretty cool just hanging on the wall. Curtains? I don’t know. We may offer this for sale as yardage.

This pic of the anvil is reasonably close to actual size, maybe a little larger.

Later tonight I’ll post a graphic showing all of the letters. UPDATE: And here they are. Click for bigness.

We have been thinking about ways to be more involved in the crafter market. One idea we’re working is providing kits and patterns for some simple projects from pillows to apparel. To start in that direction we decided to offer the fabric panels from our Jackpot Pillows to folks that would like to make their own. Of course, you can make whatever you want with these. And for pillows on the cheap, buy just one panel for each and use some plain fabric for the backs.

Some details:

• 100% organic cotton, 7 oz. poplin
• Panels are 13″ x 17″, with a 1/2 inch seam allowance for 12″ x 16″ pillows

Get them at our Etsy store where you can see all six vintage slot machine icons that are available.
