I am in the process of doing a mini make over on my back patio. I am planning to spending a lot more time out there doing hand embroidery - I have a few unfinished projects that I would like to complete.  I wanted to add some pillows to my patio chairs  - the plan is the more comfortable I am, the more I will get done:) [caption id="attachment_1152" align="aligncenter" width="401" caption="Outdoor canvass drop cloth pillow"][/caption]  The Pillow Process Out door pillows are relatively inexpensive - you can pick them up at any big box store for between $13 and...
