Signal Flag Pillows

October 9, 2011

I’m making some new pillows for the bed in our room. I thought that with the compass above the bed, making some pillows that look like Navy signal flags. I looked up some styles to see what would work with our room. I also know signal flags have an alphabet letter and a meaning associated with each flag.

After looking up some flags that would work, I checked out their meaning, and I’m not so sure they are the best idea for the bedroom. The meanings begin to take on a different connotation. Then again, for couples who have trouble communicating, maybe these are an excellent idea.

 

I like the idea of some yellow with my gray and navy. This flag means, “I am maneuvering with difficulty; keep clear.”

 

I find it funny to see these paired together. Yes, I’m easily amused.

The front pillow means, “Stop carrying out your intentions and watch for my signals.”

The rear pillow says, “My vessel is stopped; making no way.”

 

Another one that shows my sophomoric humor.

The pillow means, “Conducting flag hoist drill.”

 

This one can mean, “Do not pass in front of me” or “Keep clear; engaged in trawling.”

 

“I require medical assistance” and “I require assistance” pillows.

       

 

 

Back to a serious note, I like this style. I may get some linen and stencil a design.

 

Now to decide which one to do. I think I’m going to stick with our initials.
