::Hers and His Pillows::

May 4, 2011 By Katie

I needed to make demonstration samples last week for my Add Zip to Your Pillow Class and Roan needed a birthday gift for a classmate.  Two birds, one stone…

For Sofia’s new pink bedroom.  Little girls seem to still appreciate the handmade.  Little boys, not so much.

Last time I tried to make a pillow for a boy gift Roan’s response was, “Oh, a pillow?!  Can’t we just buy a toy?!”  Add a whining tone to that.

Skip the gift wrap, that’s what all those selvedges are saved for.

And that two bird thing?  Roan needed a new pillow cover and I had just a bit of this Alexander Henry fabric left from the back of his quilt.  Still reminds me of the A-ha video.

My couch is still in need and I’m waiting patiently for this fabric to arrive.

In the meantime the floor was washed and this was basted.

Now, off I go, I have a date with a quilt and I’m happy to report the sun is shining in Seattle.

Happy Wednesday!

p.s. In light of the past few days, I found this video on Ted is worth a watch.

    That fabric is so amazing…had to restrain myself from hitting the buy now button! The sun is not shining here so maybe Seattle is where it’s gone…love the pillowcases. I have been thinking we all need some handmade ones.

      I restrained myself for about 1/2 a day. I can’t wait to see it in person and we have the most odd green couch to match.

    I almost snagged some of the green over the weekend (pillows for Ashlee’s couch). Too funny!

    love the pillows and the fabric for your couch! Mine is in sad repair, it could use some sprucing up too, but I just love how it feels, so it’s staying ~ as is.
    The sun is shining down here in Portland, Oregon too! it’s supposed to get up to 71 ~ who knows ~
    Have fun working on that lovely quilt!

    It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it!? It’s funny how horribly bright the sun looked after the last few days! I love the A-ha reference. I can see that. You do realize that shows our age though… 😉 I’d never thought to make something for a kids birthday.

    Enjoy the sun!

      I almost mentioned that that comment aged me…remember when MTV was just that?

    Do you pin baste? if so, have you found pines that don’t leave holes in your top? My collection of random safety pins did not impress me on the last quilt I basted.

    Thank you so much for the link to the TED video. So relevant and so courageous.
