February 5, 2010 By Katie

I did manage this week to finish a wee pillow (12×12).  I left it in the hands of my wonderful coworker as a possible gift for a birthday party she’s attending.  The owls are from the Pottery Barn bedding called Brooke.  I was gifted a FQ and am always tempted to buy some.

Like all my pillows, it’s lined in muslin and the seams are serged.  I have some of the bits left so I am sure there will be some more in the making.  I LOVE the Alexander Henry Arvika and am always looking for it online.  If you run across the black and white let me know!

I did an invisible zip and the back is this sweet flannel that is almost gone.

Some other projects have been on the front burner.  In a shocking display of my perfectionist personality, I took the seam ripper to the quilt back I had completed AND basted to Roan’s quilt front.  I’m so happy I did, it wasn’t sitting right with me.

I’ve had the Alexander Henry fabric forever.  This won’t date me at all, but it reminds me of the Ah-Ha video, “Take On Me.”  Remember when you actually watched videos on MTV?

The dots are a flannel old school Amy Butler score on Ebay.  I have some of the blue left that I’ll stick up on Etsy when I get my act together.

Many other sticks in the fire of course, including a simple tied quilt like this.  Run out and buy yourself some of that Country Fair that’s at crazy discount all over!

    No way!!!! I begged my mom to buy that sheeting for my daughter more than a year ago. Then I hemmed and hawed about buying the pillow cases and cutting them up. Then, here they are! The other print that is spectacular is a Garnet Hill horses that’s out right now (for girls.) I’m torn between the two now. A purchase may have to be made. Your pillows are fantastic. I love the work you’ve been doing with linen lately.

    Take on me!!! I did that in a lip sync contest in junior high once.

    Can’t help you out with the fabric, I have some in a quilt I worked on, but it was brought the table my one of my partners in the project and she took the leftovers with her. I’ve always wanted more myself.

    I love the pillow! It is fantastic. I do remember both the ‘take on me’ video and when MTV actually was all videos. So now I am dated too!

    Cute pillows 🙂
    So funny, I have a pillow case from the Pottery Barn owls that I bought for my stash. They are so cute, I’m going to work them into something, maybe a pillow now that I’ve seen yours!

    And a very pretty pillow to boot 🙂
