You had me at 'geeky retro video game pillows'

On the one hand, I'm glad that the gal behind the raindrop23 etsy shop is on vacation right now, as I really don't need any more gaming-related paraphernalia taking up space in one of our home's few closets.

On the other hand, I like her quilted pillow covers so much that I'd be more than happy to hand over my credit card and say, "Give me one of these and one of these and one of these," if that were possible.

Here are the pillow covers I'd buy if given the chance, by the way:




I also like a number of the Bob-omb, Fire Flower, Mario and Kirby pillow covers she's created.

Regardless, I love the different patterns and textures that raindrop23 puts to use while producing these functional pieces of art.

They are the greatest things I've ever seen (>.<)

Glad you like them, Simon! They are pretty awesome, aren't they? I think I'm going to be in trouble once she comes back from vacation...

I want to MAKE these!

Oh, wouldn't that be cool, Justin? Are you at all talented when it comes to such things? I've never sewed something in my life, so there's no way I'll be making my own retro game pillow anytime soon :|

I'd get that Metroid one for my lady, but she wouldn't know what it was, lol

Well, Tom, maybe that's a good thing :)

Those are adorable!! I don't think they would be too hard to make, but then again I've never quilted before... I'll have to give it a shot someday!

Well, Anne, if you ever do give it a try, let me know. I want to know how your attempts turn out :)

Gosh these are beautiful. Like, the pallette and textures..

I agree, Francis. I'm so glad the artist decided to use fabrics of different textures, etc. Gives the end product so much more life, IMO.
