Pillow Fun....

Pillow Fun….

YD had two friends over today and we set up shop for a quilting lesson. We are making pillows. Here is our station.





They laid out the 5 inch squares into their pattern and started to sew two patches. Those will be ironed and made into 4 patches, and so on, until we have a front and a back.





Next, both right sides together and sew all three sides. Whip stitch the fourth side and voila, we are done!! Here they are….








Didn’t they do a great job!! Next, Spring Break, a lap tied quilt!!

I can share....

I can now share the Christmas gift I gave my sister. One of our cottage blocks with her favorite characters from Rudolph and potholders. They are the first potholders I ever made and to tell you the truth, it was fun. just like Nanette said, "it is like making a little mini quilt".











Have a super day.
