A couple weeks ago I purchased a variety of 1/4 yards of jersey knit fabric. Since these were not fat quarters, they are pretty narrow strips of fabric. They are only nine or ten inches wide. My options for creations were limited because of this.
I originally bought the fabric to make a few headbands for our new baby girl.
So I made a handful of headbands and though, ‘now what?’
So here’s a project I’ve never done before. A good friend found this embroidery project at a second hand store months. She asked if I could turn it into a pillow.
Here’s how I turned this vintage embroidery project into a pillow cover.
If you are looking for a quilt to snuggle or a quilt that’s warm to the touch as soon as you pick it up, this is it.
It’s soft, cozy, fluffy, and warm.

(Please note that affiliate links have been used in this post.) This quilt has seen extremely slow progress. I’ve let it sit for over a year now. I’ve never sewn a quilt with Dresden plates. I’ve never appliqued anything onto a quilt. I’ve never sewn with curves. I’ve never hand quilted a large quilt either.… Read More
(Please note that this post contains affiliate links.) I have three very blond haired little boys. I absolutely love some of the newer fabrics with some appropriate prints for boys (like this pirate print), but some of my all time favorite fabrics are the sweet girls frolicking in the fields of wild flowers.

I clicked through to a couple online stores the other day to find some new cushions for our patio chairs. Our cushions have seen better days, and we went all last summer without cushions. I had resolved that I’d slowly get them all recovered, but I never took the time to finish more than two.… Read More
