Monthly Project for January, 2003

Tropical Pillow Sham

It's a New Year and your home deserves a new look! Let's start off with a quick and easy pillow sham that looks great in the bedroom as an accent or in the family room as a lounge pillow. With the envelope back closure, washing is a snap. Choose a different Hawaiian print for every room in the house and take away those winter time blues. Please email any questions you may have to: lani@gotfabric.com.

Stay warm!
Aloha, Lani
