SMS Giveaway Day Winner!
I have been on a pillow binge, y’all! So much faster than quilts, aren’t they? Why did no one tell me this? We had a Secret Santa gift exchange at work today, so I made the below pillow out of some Heather Ross Far Far Away II fabric I picked up on my first Japan trip. Those little moon faces are a slice of cutie patootie pie! The back is an envelope closure, using some glitter dot fabric (so that the recipient will always have some sparkle in her life!) From the grin and hug I received, I’d say it was a big hit!
Now! Who won that $30 Gift Card to Intrepid Thread by naming their inner spirt animal? It goes to #111, Ms. LethargicLass, who has the soul of a turtle down deep inside. Congratulations, and I’ll be sending you an email very shortly!
I use table runners or hand bags as my sanity projects…after a big quilt a girl just needs a break! Enjoy your respite 🙂
I just love making cushions when I feel the need to create something in a hurry. Maybe i should spend a little less time on them and a bit more on the quilts i need to finish!
Oh yes, cushions are fab for using up orphaned blocks, getting patterns you'd never make into a quilt out of your system, and supporting the masses :oD
Very nice pillow! Congrats, LL. I'm a major homebody myself.
Loving that whole styling.
Gotta admit – I *never* would have put blue, pink & yellow all together – but, gosh darn, they WORK! (or is it WERK?) Hope I remember that! Pillow's cute as can be! Reminds me of a sunny day!
I discovered the same thing earlier this year! Wondered why I had put off making them so long!
Love it. How did you get your quilted squares so perfect? I'm a copycat and just made a pillow from Pillow Pop. Love that book!!
Congrats lethargic lass! And I'm half way my M Sparkle inspired cushion as we speak.
Wooohoo! Congrats to mah girl Katy. 😀 <3
And that pillow is amazing. Next year, I'm so making more pillows. I don't have the attention span for this quilt thing.
Yay!!!!!! Thanks so much 🙂 And I recently discovered the mini-fun of pillows… the same great rush for less effort LOL!
I would hug you too if I got that as my gift, it's truly delightful with those cheeky faces
