::Birthday Boys::

Poor Roan feels so let down that he can’t go buy toys for his friends for their birthdays.  The pillows are really for their mother and my friend.  Her boys have the most adorable Pottery Barn Robot Sheets on their beds.  I always want it for Roan when I see it.

This is my first time actually quilting the patchwork.  I didn’t do too much, as it was well passed my bedtime, but I would like to do it for an Improv class project and needed to give it a try.

I included the age of the boys on each pillow.  I was hoping this would keep them from being attached to one pillow over the other.  Aiden’s age on the front and some other sweet fabric details.

Emmet’s age is on the back with a light wale corduroy in blue.  I finished this one with an invisible zipper.  If you have never tried an invisible zipper, don’t fret, they are sooo easy to install.

Aiden’s I used corduroy and an envelope closure.  I always line them with muslin that I serge on.  It really makes them a nice weight.

    awesome! And such a great idea to put their ages on too, I wouldn’t have thought of that.

    Being a very proud owner of one of your pillows I can vouch for the nice weight. And I am still in awe of the invisible zipper, I was sat looking at it (in awe) yesterday whilst changing the sheets on Miss G’s bed.

    Fantastic!!! Love them all — am esp. in love with robin’s egg blue and red combos, recently…

    What, pray tell, is that green center square on the topmost pillow? Must have some of that fabric for my own little boy projects…. Spill the beans! 🙂
