Birthday Boys

May 21, 2011 By Katie

Brothers, and still young enough to be gifted a pillow, maybe even love it.

That little robot kills me.  He’s so stinkin’ cute.

On the flip side of the pillow, celebrating the 4th revolution around the sun.  I went with some corduroy that I’ve had around and never use.  This one I finished with an invisible zipper (I just redid my tutorial).

I popped this out of print Alexander Henry into my destash with some coordinates for making a pillow too.

For older brother, robots as well.  This print is flannel and I wish I had bought enough for a quilt back, just got scraps.

Big Boys dream in robot too.  Happy 6th revolution…

spinning on this lovely home.

Many smiles to you this year.

I know your Momma will like them too, because she gifted me some of the fabric.

I’m try to fit in some quilting today.

Happy Saturday!

    I have heard of but never used the tape as a guide for quilting. I do have that guide arm for my walking foot that I use. I may try this and see if it “feels” better or what.

    Can’t wait to see it complete!

    Love the pillows. I have a nephew, actually he is my cousin’s son who calls me Aunt, and he usually gets a quilt each year. This year he may just get PILLOWS! LOL.

    Happy B-Days to your boys!

      I hate the guide. I actually used it for the lines in the photo and then took them out and went with tape again.

    I’m a 29-year old boy and I still love robots! That sweet little one in the first photo is awesome!

      Kokka fabric is the best. Wish I had a ton of this one.

    Hi Katie, I’m loving those pillows! And I know I owe you an email, sorry I’m so behind!
