Pillows Talk

Last Fall my good friend Barb let me enjoy all of her old quilt magazines. I found this great pattern in Quiltmaker Sept/Oct 2008 to covered our travel pillows. The pattern is made of arrows going around in a circle. What goes around comes around, and that is true too, when we travel or go on missions.

I used the last of my scraps of fabric I had on our mission.

Last week I was in the mood to do something with my hands, yet full size quilts were a bit too much to tackle right now, so I though of pillows.

I got my fabric, ironed, and cut out. It felt so good to use my rotary cutter, but when it came time to sew, my machine had troubles. After an hour, and magic from my husband, I was back in business.

I decided to make a pillow case (so it can be removed and washed), because what women think are 'decorative' men think are 'functional'. These pillows are so tempting to prop under your head and watch a game on T.V

I gave it to my beautiful niece, Heather

who is getting married next week.
