March Finish

It looks like a lot of people are going to get pillows for Christmas, now that I found the tutorial on Geta Grama's site. They really are fast, though I'm slower than she is! I think it took me 20 minutes, but it was my first one. Now I want to experiment with piecing my own fabric for it. The only thing I will change is using 38" instead of 40". I thought the overlap was too large, more than I usually make, and it made the pillow hard to get in the cover.
 

  This fabric is a soft yellow, with pretty spring flowers on it. I must have succumbed to the lure of spring outside my window, with birds singing and the windows open all over the house. It's 77 out there and sunny off and on!

February Project

This is my first finished project to post! I was part of the Nuts About ... blog hop, and this is what I made, which will be going to someone at Christmas. You can see the post HERE. Here's the important part, though ... the finished product!
 

  Deets: It's a 16" pillow cover, finished with an envelope back closure. The top is made from scraps of other projects. All three fabrics were completely used up, except for a small bit of the pink Civil War floral I used for the heart. See ya next month!
