Have you heard? Pretty Organized Palace (whom I aspire to be like when I grow up) is having a Toile Party! Wooooooo! I loves me some toile! I have stacks of various toile patterned fabric in a closet begging to be used. If you're a toile nut, head over to the party and check it out. But not until after you've seen mine!
These pillows are made using Kimba's no sew method. They are actually yellow and blue, but it's hard to see the color in these photos. The pillow in the back shows the reverse side fabric. The curtains don't technically qualify as toile, but I love them anyway.
This is another of her no sew pillows (can you tell I love them?) on my salvaged chair in our guest/school room. I have more toile that will go on the bed when we actually get one. I love the red, yellow and black together.
More at my kitchen window. This is a better representation of the color on the first set of pillows I posted. These are a total mistreatment, BTW. I folded the fabric in half, clipped it up and poofed it out. Thanks Nester!
Here's my French Memo board that I made about 4 years ago. It usually has more stuff on it, but I just put it up, so it hasn't had time to get covered.
This is our last house in AZ. Back when I had my own bathroom. Oh, how I miss you bathroom. Sharing one bath with M and Indy is so not my thing. Also, it's very boyish. M has declared it a "no toile zone." Humph! This was another mistreatment. I just stapled the fabric to the wall, looped some long ribbon around the fabric and tied it up.
So that's my toile love for today. NOW you can go check out other toile nuts.

i like toile, too, but i'm not as crafty! i have a beautiful spread in our guest room, but it is now being occupied, so i can't creep in there and take photos... that just wouldn't be right! :) have a great day!
Those pillows & window treatments you made are so pretty!

Never would have known it wasn't sewn if you hadn't said. Super cute pillows. Have a beautiful day.
You have done a wonderful job with your toile. Thanks for sharing.
Blessings,

Love the red chair with the toile pillow on it! So striking. I bought (didn't make like you did) a couple of toile message boards and I tucked lots of old family photos in them.
Cracking up that your bath was declared a "no toile zone." Ha.
Love the red chair with the b&w toile pillow! Be sure and check out the b&w toile with red accent nursery that we did for my granddaughter, Zoe at http://anothercraftyidea.blogspot.com
Good job with your toile! I must say I really covet your red chair :)
Love all of your toile and your mistreatment! I may have to try some of those pillows...

I'm loving that red chair with the no sew yellow and lack toile pillow! Thanks for the inspiration!
Wonderful pillows! I am a toile lover too and have posted my party post!
You'd make Kimba and Nester proud! Love the pillows and that window treatment with ribbon! Beautiful! Thanks for joining the Toile Soiree... or however you spell that frenchy party word.
very pretty toile.... love your pillows!
The red, black and yellow does look great!
Great projects. And i need to get a closer look at the pillows. No sewing required? wow. Mishelle
Hello and Happy Toile Day!

I love that pretty black & white toile pillow on that little red chair...and ooooh, don't even get me started on that darling red chair! Beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing in the toile and making this world a bit prettier!!! hehe!
Warmest wishes,

I have a blue and white toile memo board that I made for my daughter. Yours look great and all of your toile touches in your home...
Yep, I agree, the red and black together are a great combo :)
Great toile ideas. I'm definitely going to check out the pillow idea because I have some toile that has been begging me to make it into pillows. I've been a chicken. Maybe this will give me the push I've been needing. Love the message board, too.
Cute stuff!!! Love the kitchen mistreatment! Thanks for the link to the no sew pillows - I'll definitely be checking that out! Great toile - thanks for sharing it with us!
I like your pretty toile pillows. I saw that over at Kimbas today and I want to try it. Yours looks great!
The red/yellow/black combo is my fave--it's so French country-looking! Thanks for sharing all your pretties!
Your toile projects are very pretty. I was reading your post on the 18th and we have the same wedding anniversary.;D Except I've been married 31 years.;D
Those yellow walls, red chair and B&W toile are so yummy.... It's easy to see that you have a happy home! Take care over there in Germany!! Cheers, Andrea
I love toile. I don't think a person can have too much. While checking out your blog I realized I forgot some things on my post. I must have toile in every room. I do love what you have posted.
I love toile too!!! Thanks for the post!
Love your toile message board and great pillows also.
Carolyn
Very pretty! I especially like those adorable pillows.
Great toile pics... and I love the pillows, and also that your toile is in less-common color combinations. Lovely!!

Just saying hi from SITS :) I love the name of your blog!
Great job on the pillows! I love the yummy red chair with the black and white.
Love all of your toile. You've done a great job with all of those projects! Thanks so much for stopping by!
I think I have that yellow and blue toile fabric! I had lovely curtains in my old kitchen, but the new kitchen doesn't have the same windows, which is a darn shame. Beautiful job on the pillows. I am going to do me some!
Hey girly, I have already commented on your toile, but, I wanted to pop over and say an early Happy Birthday to you! I say switch days and turn off on Saturday instead! Who wants to miss out on birthday love? I got your back, girl...

I'm with you....I love love LOVE toile. I did one of our guest bedrooms in toile...and it's now my favorite room in the house. I love your pillows and curtain ideas. You are really creative. And thanks so much for the link to the no sew pillow. I'm going to do one of those today!!!!
