NOTHING MUCH...




...is happening here at the cottage.  I have not really "sewed" or "created" anything since before we went away on vacation in June.  BUT, a special little guy asked me to make him a pillow cover out of this fabric.  I was more than happy to do it! 


His mommy asked me to put in a zipper to keep the pillow in the case and also allow for frequent washing.  Eeeekkkk....I've never made a pillow with a zipper before!  I was happy with how it turned out, although I realized when I saw this picture that I should have ironed the zipper better.  It has already been given to the little guy... so there is no ironing now.  Oh well, he won't mind and I'm sure it is getting more wrinkles as he snuggles down into it. 

Hopefully life will be calming down in the next few weeks and I can once again share some projects.  I HAVE started a quilt for the same little guy made from his baby clothes.  It isn't really far enough along to show you anything, but stay tuned!

Toodles...

    1. Thank you, Jackie! I can't wait to really get back into my sewing room and turn some of my ideas into reality. The baby clothing quilt is especially challenging as the amount of useable fabric varies widely from newborn to toddler. But it is making me think outside of the box!

    1. Thank you, Carrie! Things were a little too crazy for me to be able to give it to him personally, so our son and his girlfriend (little guy's mommy) gave it to him. They said he really loved it. Wish I had seen his face, but I didn't want to make him wait, LOL.
