A Quick Finish!

I started this pillow cover during my trip to Norway.  Tildas World generously provided all the fabric for this folded star project.  Tula, the designer was very sweet.  The pillow cover is 18" square.

For the blue strip on the pillow back, I used the burrito pillowcase method; I feel very clever!

I'm glad to be able to check this off my list.  Now, I think I'm ready to start a new project!

May your bobbins always be full,

A couple of finishes

I started this quilt top last Saturday and finished it on Friday.  I used 6 charm packs of Cookies & Cream by Wilmington Prints and lots of scraps!

One of my guild members called this an Improv Butterfly Quilt; I guess I'll go with that name!  I really love how it turned out.

A couple of close-ups of the Butterflies. 

I also did a quick project, birthday gifts for my granddaughter Erin and her new husband Jaimie.  Jaimie is a firefighter and Erin is studying to be a nurse.  These are quick, but I took longer than the 15 minutes that the tutorial claimed! 

I've previously made several of these pillowcases; I recommend the tutorial by Leslie, The Seasoned Homemaker.  I usually make these to give as a gift to an older sibling when I gift a quilt to a new baby in the family.  I don't want the older children to feel left out.  In August, two of my bookseller friends are expecting additions, so I'll be making four more pillowcases in the near future.

May your bobbins always be full,
