Miniature Pillow

Micah recently decided that he enjoys sleeping on a pillow.... he's not at all opinionated-- and no I have no idea where he gets it from. 

So being the awesome super on top of it Mom that I am (hahaha) I found a small 12"x17" pillow form at Joanns... it's super comfortable I think I spent the same $ on my pillow... ridiculous

So of course the miniature pillow needed a miniature pillow case. I just happened to have some of Denyse Schmidt's Joann's line that goes perfectly with his quilt... every time I see this pattern at the store I want to buy more of it... 

 Uber said he hasn't been laying on it at night : ( but he actually slept later than me this morning and I went to check on him and he was all cute and asleep on it. I tried to get a picture but I ended up just waking him up... ugh!

Half Square Triangle Pillow

Pillows seem to be the big thing right now. They are kind of irresistible. About a month ago (? time flies) I decided I needed a pillow for my guest room. I actually could use a couple of pillows because one looks kinda sad, like an incomplete thought, but you must start somewhere.

 

My finished HSTs are 2 inches. It's a bit crazy that there are, I think, 85 of them in this one small pillow.I used Kona cottons. I wish I had a color card because I cannot for the life of me remember what these fabrics are called and I really need some of the yellow! So who would like to come see me next? The room is ready!

Lovely Pillowcases

Another step in getting Jess ready for the hospital was to make her pillowcases. She was told to bring a couple of her own comfy pillows, but to be sure that the cases were distinctly hers.  Do you think these will work??

She had just a yard of her most favorite Mendocino fabric and a white cotton pillowcase. It was destiny.  It was magic. It was fun.  I did the planning and cutting, she did the sewing.
