Belated Christmas Post - - - - - well sort of

I was trying to save a bit of money at Christmas this year and got this fun idea. I decided to make pillowcases for all my nieces and nephews.



For years I have collected fabrics that tickle my fancy. . . . . . hoping that some day I would get the time to turn them into quilts or clothing. I have quite the stash

Oh I had so much fun!!







I used all my brightest, or cutest or wildest fabrics to make these goofy pillowcases.


On the website for Quiltmaker magazine you can find the free directions. =)

I had everything on hand and just went to town. ( nice idiom huh Najah?)


There are snowmen, fish, martians, aprons, aliens, flowers and bears on them.
(the bear one says I'd rather be sailing)


Then I found pillows 2 for $5.00. They were a little short but still perfect for what I needed.


The only one that isn't pictured is the one for Becca that I made with reproduction 30's fabric. I especially liked the part of hers that was that wonderful Pepto-Bismal pink color.
