Fab Freebie: Jagged Little Pillow
***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
Well, I guess the pillows we’re talking about today would only really be considered jagged if you choose one with a zig-zag or a chevron pattern. But if that’s not your thing, no biggie, because the winner of this week’s giveaway will get to design two completely custom pillows with any high-end fabric that tickles their fancy courtesy of Oliver Fabrics.
As a longtime sponsor of ours, you’ve probably heard us mention Oliver Fabrics once or twice. This Charlottesville, Virginia-based store scores fine fabrics at deals that even designers can’t get (learn how here) so you can snatch up some pretty posh fabric without having the Beckham’s bank account behind you (why yes, I have managed to work both an Alanis Morisette and a Spice Girls reference into this post). Apparently I’m treating 2010 like 1997 so far.
Anyway, this definitely isn’t cheap-o $2 a yard fabric- it’s high quality stuff and the price is extremely competitive when it comes to such sought after designer textiles. And we’re thrilled to help the Oliver folks announce the opening of their second location in (where else?) RICHMOND! As of today, us Richmonders can get our hands on Oliver’s offerings in person at their new shop located at Libbie and Grove. Welcome to the River City guys!
But even if you’re not local, you can still have fun virtually trolling their website. Which will be an important step for this week’s winner since they get to “design” TWO matching pillows (anywhere from 16″ x 16″ to 24″ x 24″) in their choice of fabric from Oliver’s site (they can even choose one fabric for the front and another for the back). That’s practically four free super swanky pillows. So now’s probably a good time to go check out the goods…
But enough chit-chat. Here are this week’s details:
- PRIZE: Two matching pillows (from 16″ x 16″ to 24″ x 24″) in any fabric from Oliver Fabric.
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “PILLOW ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: …tell us your thought on pillow fights. Fun? Weird? Only for kids? Best reserved for commercials with women in bikinis? We’ll try not to judge.
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, January 6th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: US of A only this time
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

It seems to me that girls who have pillow fights in their bikinis are immediately offed by the psycho killer on the loose.
PILLOW ME! I’d love some new pillows for our living room couch!
Can’t recall ever being in a pillow fight, come to think of it!
PILLOW ME!

Pillow fights are great fun! Especially in hotels — where jumping on the beds (or from bed to bed) is mandatory!
PILLOW ME!
Pillow fights are reserved for especially silly mornings with little kiddos!

Pillow fights are great fun! On a side note, I went to grad school at UVA, and wish I was still in C’Ville to check this place out – looks really great!! Thanks for the giveaway!
PILLOW ME! Getting hit in the face with a pillow can really hurt! But I’ll take a pillow fight over a tickle fight any day.
PILLOW ME!
Never really did the pillow fight thing but we did build a lot of forts growing up using all the bedding in the house!
Pillow me!!!
pillow fights are totally fun!
Congrats on the new baby girl! :)
PILLOW ME!and … pillow fights are simply daydream fodder for men who imagine scantily clad ladies frolicking about.
Pillow me! I think they’re fun for about 2 minutes. Then it’s like, oh, what’s the point?
PILLOW ME!

A visit with my little sister wouldn’t be half as fun if I didn’t get in a good whack with a pillow at least once.
PILLOW ME! There’s nothing like a good, old-fashioned, feathers flying pillow fight to make you feel like a kid again :)
Congratulations on your baby girl- she’s sure to have the coolest bedroom on the block (not to mention the coolest parents!)
PILLOW ME!!
Love all the fabrics! So fun!
Pillow fights are best left to preteen slumber parties…
PILLOW ME!
I grew up with two brothers, so “pillow fight” connotes being smacked in the face with a not-so-soft pillow…lol. Needless to say, not really a fan.
PILLOW ME!
When I think of pillow fights, girls at sleep overs scantily clad comes to mind. Though I did have them at sleep away camp when I was little!
Pillow me…
I haven’t had a pillow fight in years but they were way fun then
Pillow me!! Um, pillow fights could be fun..unless you wear contacts and get hit in the face and lose one. But sure, they could be fun! :)
Pillow me! Pillow fights were a must at 5th grade sleep overs. Though inevitably something gets broken or someone gets hurt. Still fun until that happens though.
PILLOW ME!
No pillow fights for me ever since my brother and I busted open one of my moms feather pillows as kids…man, was she po’d.
PILLOW ME!
A pillow fight is how my husband and I got together! We were out of town with friends and when everyone else went to sleep we stayed up talking all night and eventually ended up in a pillow fight. To this day we tell people that pillow fights will get you married.
PILLOW ME!
Pillow fights…only in the movies. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. wink :)
PILLOW ME!!! Pillow fights are fun for all ages, just be aware of the furnishings around you…in my experience there has been inuries and broken bed frames from the running around.
PILLOW ME.
So fun! Loving the fabrics!
PILLOW ME!!!
These look AWESOME! And pillow fights? Sounds good to me, bring it on!! I wouldn’t reserve them just for kids, us adults can have some fun too :)
Pillow me timbers.
Pillow fights are fun until you are an adult and have to buy the pillows.

Pillow fights? I’m a lover, not a fighter.
Pillow Me!

Pillow fights are for little kids or the movies…they look fun but really aren’t. I just started reading your blog – love your ideas/posts!
Pillow me!!
They are fun for middle school sleepovers and sorority girl movies.
PILLOW ME!
I love a good pillow fight!
PILLOW ME!
I got in trouble at 6th grade camp for having a pillow fight. Where, if not 6th grade camp, are you supposed to have one?!?! What an outlaw I was…
Pillow Me Please! Um, pillow fights, my humor is to crude so I wont go there.
PILLOW ME!
I think I would most like to see two old people pillow fight!
PILLOW ME!
When I think of pillow fights, I think of the “Look at me, I’m Sandra Dee” sleepover scene in Grease. Great movie :)
PILLOW ME!
Never one for pillow fights…pillows are best when they’re not being swung at your head!!
PILLOW ME!!!!
Pillow fights actually offer good anger therapy but within in a safe environment! wack away!!!
PILLOW ME!
I once got in a pillow fight with my girlfriends while away for the weekend at another friend’s wedding – totally innocent/playful. Of course, our boyfriends/fiances/husbands probably remember it very differently.
Pillow Me!
With a little sister, a pillow was a necessity when deciding who got to sit in the “good” chair when watching TV. :)
PILLOW ME!
PILLOW ME!!!
I’m a fan of pillow fights. In college, we tried to get in the Guinness book of world records for largest pillow fight…we had something like 1500 people on the quad bashing each other with pillows for 15 minutes…and we took the record, and then it was quickly taken away by some group in England. Bummer.
Also…my guy friends always complain about my throw pillows (I guess they take up too much space on my couch?), so my excuse for having them (other then being decorative, of course), is for PILLOW FIGHTS!! They seem to accept that ;).
PILLOW ME!
I am a big fan of pillows and therefore pillow fights (but with the right pillow of course, too hard and ouch!)
PILLOW ME!
I love pillow fighting with my toddler!
PILLOW ME!
In terms of pillow fights… I’m pretty sure I would be the party pooper telling everyone not to mess my pillows up!
……Although if we DID win new luxurious pillows I would make a point to have a pillow fight with our old couch pillows!
PILLOW ME!!
PILLOW ME!!
Ah pillow fights! Haven’t had one in a long time! And I regret to say that I never had a pillow fight with down pillows and then the pillows break and then feathers are everywhere. Bummer! Maybe a 2010 resolution?!
PILLOW ME
I love pillows! We just got some great pillows from target for our living room. They are brown, white and teal…lots of geometric shapes..and a bird to boot!
