I found this cute owl fabric at Hawthorne Threads.


It looked like great fabric for making a pillow for my daughter who loves owls.  While my machine was being serviced, I cut out the fabric, batting, and a backing to make a quilted fabric for the pillow.


I made an envelope style opening on the back of the 18 inch pillow cover I constructed.


Voila!  A cute pillow!  So cute I made one for myself too!    :o)

Did you ever take your machine in for its yearly check-up only to discover that one of the service technicians has recently quit and the wait time for the machine is 3 1/2 weeks?  WHAT?!?  I had pushed the machine to its limit, and the service light was on.  I had to leave her.  I was out of town one of the weeks.  For the rest of the wait, I did the only thing left I could think of to get my quilt fix.  I went shopping...

Remember this?


This is a curtain I made for our guest bathroom.  It was a stretch for me because almost every other curtain in my house is a very conservative white.  I ended up liking this bathroom curtain so much that I used this


and this

to make this for a small secondary foyer window.
