While searching Etsy for “Designer Fabric Pillows”
I found Liana and her gorgeous pillow covers at WoodyLiana.
AND it turns out…she lives near me!
Liana is darling and unassuming and in my book….”The Pillow Master.”
She runs a top quality, single person shop AND has a husband and two small boys.
These pillows were made for me recently…look at that hidden zipper.
The pillows covers came beautifully packaged.
In fact, Liana delivered them to me.
Which prompted my daughter to say
“Wow, Mom, you got it bad…
your dealer is delivering to your door now.”
Liana often gets decorating questions emailed to her, but prefers that her customers get professional advice. She says “A single hour of consultation with a trained professional can cost as much as a single pillow, and will be much more valuable than all the time, stress and wasted money you’d spend on experimenting.” But you could submit questions here for a follow-up post.
How to Stuff A Pillow Cover:
1. Put safety pins at either side of the zipper to reinforce it. Liana says that no matter the quality, zippers can be damaged during this process.
2. Fold the Pillow in half (makes total sense–but I didn’t know this)
(Use down and feather for all indoor pillows–more plush–of course).
Notice Liana’s cute bracelets?
3. Stuff the pillow with the front on the bottom
4. Cinch on both waists to push the feathers towards the corners.
Et Voila!
Let’s play with her pillows at my house!

Beautiful pillows! I especially love the blue chevron lumbar pillow which I pinned. Thanks for sharing.
Her pillows are amazing-I'll take one of each!
After I wiped the drool off my keyboard I pinned the cheetah print pillow. I didn't want to pin the ones I actually want so no one else would buy them.
oh my goodness! I am a pillow hoarder and these are gorgeous! I pinned pillows I love and I really hope you pick me! 🙂 I also really liked the trick with the safety pin, you don't know how many pillow covers I've damaged! Thank you! Crossing my fingers! Melaine
WOWZA this is the most gorgeous group of pillows ever! I pinned and already liked… please please pillow god pick me for the winner!!!

Beautiful pillows! I've been following your page for a couple of weeks and spent nearly a whole sunday reading your blog. What a beautiful home you have! I love the pillows on this post – would love to be the proud owner of one or two! Happy Saturday, Sally
Wow!!! Just found your blog over the past week….live just a bit south of you in San Clemente. 🙂 Lido is very dear to me because my grandparents had a home there for years and years. I am a Newport Beach native and have spent so much time there! It's a lovely place.
I, too, am a pillow junkie. Not everyone knows what an amazing source Etsy is for high-quality pillows. I haven't seen this shop before, and I am very impressed! Would LOVE to win these pillows!!! Thanks for the very generous giveaway!

I would love to win some credit from her store! So cute! I pinned a photo on Pinterest!
As Karen said "Mary Ann….You're killing me! WOW……her pillow are SO divine…I can hardly stand it! Her fabrics and workmanship are amazing and I love the tips on stuffing a pillow (though I did know the part about folding the insert)! I'm now obsessed to make more pillows and I adore the ice blue and citron color combo! Thanks….now I'll have to go on the hunt for more fabrics!!! And YES….I immediately noticed Liana's bracelets….too chic!
P.S. I just went to Esty and saw her amazing collection of pillows and fell madly in love with about 20 pillows. Love Sinhala in Bittersweet and the Nebaha in Citron. But the thing I was most amazed by are her great prices….don't know how she does it! What a fabulous find Mary Ann!
I have ordered from her before and was so impressed with her work!

Christopher Farr in Carnival is my favorite, I think, so hard to choose. All are beautiful. Suzi pblapere@ att.net
I have checked out Liana's beautiful pillows out many times on Etsy. I pinned several, my favorite is the Lee Jofa Indian Zag. And I love your pink and green pillow which I did not see on her site. Her pillows look great in your pretty home!
Really beautiful fabric choices and amazing workwomanship!
Oops, meant your pink and orange pillow with black stitching, who is the maker?
This is what I call pillow perfection….LOVE them. They look fabulous, your choices were spot on. I get so excited with pillows…and you are right such a quick and easy way to change things up. I too love the plushness of a wonderful down pillow, the fuller and squishier the better!! Thanks for sharing!
Lovely pillows and now I know how to correctly stuff one. I'm always struggling trying to stuff the pillow in the covers…..cheriduzanica@gmail.com
beautiful pillows! I love all the different looks just by making small switches. I'm a follower already. I'm off to check out her site now. thanks!

I have a question: I do love the feel of the feather/down inserts; but my husband is VERY allergic to them. (And it is not simply of matter of needing to be sure the feathers and down are thoroughly washed.)
Is there a synthetic product you can recommend that has the quality feel and resilience of feather/down?
I pinned the Kelly Wearstler pillow because I love it; but it doesn't match anything I own. I also love the chevron bar silk pillow in marine, and it looks like it would be a great match in my living room.
Hi, I'm back after looking around her etsy shop–I really love all of her pillows. I pinned the PAIR of 20"sq. Thomas O'Brien NYMPHEUS pillow covers in Teal for my sunroom. That's what I'd get if I win. Oh, please let me win 🙂
Momma needs a new set of pillows.
I found her store on Etsy awhile ago and love all her pillows and how she puts others with to show all the options. Definitely one of my favorite Etsy shops!
WHAT A GREAT GIVEAWAY!! I pinned, and followed on FB!!! I am already a follower here! Love the new look on your sofa!! Such beautiful colors. Pillows are like crack aren't they? Very addictive!

I LOVE Woody Liana pillows. I always have a wish list going for what I want to purchase next from her. I so want two 22" chiang mai pillows in the aquamarine colorway with the same fabric on front and back! I may have to give up a kidney to get them but am confident it would be worth it! No one gives more attention to the finishing details than Liana, she is hands down the best.

P.S. love your mercury jug lamp, now its time for me to search your blog for the back story to fin out if the lamp shade is black or navy and where you got it!

What a useful tip on stuffing pillows! (I also love the bracelets!) Thanks for letting me know the source of the photo in my post – I have credited it accordingly. Keep well x Sharon
These pillows are beautiful and look like they are also beautifully made. Loving the tips for stuffing too.
I am going to pin some of my favorites now and follow,but I may have already.
Thanks, Kim kim@maxwheeler.com
Her pillows look fabulous on your sofa (beautiful color scheme!) and I really appreciated her tip about the safety pins. I just learned that lesson the hard way). Great post!
I've ordered pillows from Woody Liana and they are, indeed, top notch quality. I wouldn't have easy access to the designer fabrics she offers and the workmanship of the pillows is outstanding.
So glad to see her featured!
Kelly kellyroo3@hotmail.com
Fabulous pillows!!!! Love them all 🙂
Wat beautiful pillows, so many beautiful combinations! I love greek key and the Nebaha in Sky pattern has a nice twist. I can see pairing it with the plush velvet and york castle pillow.
I never knew how to stuff a pillow cover before! I'm going to have to pin this. That is beautiful workmanship on those pillows. So often you see pillows on Etsy with no welt or made with no regard for the pattern (to maximize fabric). I would love to win this gift certificate. In the meantime I'm going to add her shop to my favorites.
Beautiful pillows and so well made!
Mary Ann, I confess… I'm addicted to pillows!!! LOL Do you know any designer that isn't??? 🙂
I love these pillows! They're beautiful and stylish. Thank you for sharing these useful tips and for the great giveaway!
Have a wonderful weekend, my friend!

These posts about pillows are great. I actually just pinned both posts on pinterest – these will became great know tos when I get around to cleaning my inserts and buying new covers! My favorite WoodyLiana pillow is the BETWIXT pillow cover in Chartreuse – love this fabric!
I have been stalking the Quadrille zig-zag pillow but can't decide between that and the pinstripe belgian linen velvet one, but now that I saw your Vervain Ishtar pillows on furniture, they've made my top 3! I've yet to convince my husband we need more furniture so I can buy all of them :)I also liked the tips on caring for/cleaning pillows. Her work is impeccable and I would love to have one of her pillows – fingers crossed!
