Mila and Kate's Christmas Pillowcases

I just finished Mila and Kate's Christmas pillowcases.

Mila's is on the left and Kate's is on the right.

I love Michael Miller's fabrics!

Mila and Kate's Thanksgiving Pillowcases

Yeesh! I almost forgot to make these for the girls! And when I went fabric shopping, both at brick and mortar stores as well as online, there was NOTHING available. Luckily, their mamas liked what I had on hand.

Mila is getting the green on the left, and Kate the "Gobble Wobble" on the right.

I will mail Kate's today or tomorrow and hand deliver Mila's since she lives just across the river.

Thinking ahead, I asked the mamas about Christmas fabric choices, and have those cut out, matched to thread, and ready to sew.

Susan's Blessing Dress

I finished my sewing project!

I made our most recent grandchild, Susan, a blessing gown.

This photo with the light change shows the detail of the lace better. I especially like the scalloped lace where the bodice and the skirt meet and at the hem.

We are heading down to Tennessee soon to deliver it and for Susan's blessing. I can't wait to see it on her.

Mila's and Kate's Halloween Pillowcases

I love sewing holiday pillowcases for my grandchildren. I just finished the Halloween pillowcases for Mila and Kate.

Mila is getting the pumpkins and the owls are for Kate.

It's just the end of September, but the holiday fabrics are out. I need to go look for some Thanksgiving fabric now!

Cambria & Titan - Back to School Pillowcases

Jessica asked me if I would make her kids pillowcases for back to school. Her reasoning? It's a long time between the 4th of July and Halloween, and she wanted pillowcases for the time in between the two holidays. I was happy to oblige, although there is not a big selection in fabric for back to school.

 I took a big chance on Titan's. It was a panel for decorating, but its measurements were right, so I crossed my fingers and bought a panel.

 And I love how it turned out! This may be one of my all-time favorite pillowcases.

Cambria got a pink fabric with owls and school supplies on it.

Kate's Birthday Pillowcase

I absolutely LOVE the fabric that I used for Kate's birthday pillowcase!

Bright, cheerful, gaily colored birthday balloons!

Kyle's Mario Pillowcase

When she was here for my retirement party, Addie asked me to make her dad a pillowcase for his birthday as a surprise. She wanted a Nintendo one for him.

She gave me instructions to mail it to her and then she will give it to him on his birthday.

I finished it today and will pop it into the mail next week. I hope Kyle enjoys this surprise from his daughter and his mother!
