My Sister N Law is having a birthday this month. She lives in Indiana and will probably see this post before her package arrives, but she'll be surprised as she's reading this post! :) I rarely get to see her, because we live so far apart. She is so laid back and enjoyable to be around, I wish we lived closer. We recently started following each other on Pinterest and I discovered that she likes foxes!! So I found some really CUTE fox fabric and made her a pillow sham! I've never made a pillow sham before and it was FUN! I found an excellent tutorial over at
Pile O Fabric. I want to make some more for my couch pillows. :) When I was admiring the back of my newly sewn pillow sham, I noticed a few squares that were really 'OFF'. It made me smile, because I must have been sipping my wine and sewing. lol never sip and sew unless you're willing to accept the little oops that may appear. ;) of course, sometimes those little oops are worth the smile. :)

ReplyDeleteHi April it's Kim (I have to identify myself b/c of my technological difficulties since I don't know how to post :0 ) I was so surprised & delighted that the beautiful fox pillow is for me - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!! That fabric is so pretty & I love the little squares with the long strip at the top. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it that you were so thoughtful! Your story about the oops made me laugh, but I agree with your mom's comment :) Many Thanks!

ReplyDeleteCute pillow sham. (I know about sipping wine and sewing...my DH makes wine). That Connemara block is elegant. I don't believe I've ever seen it before.
