Titan's St. Patrick's Day and Easter Pillowcases

I made these pillowcases for Titan this morning. I will mail the St. Patrick's Day one today and then the other with the kids' Easter packages.

Only one more to make Titan (his birthday one) and then I start sewing Mila and Kate's pillow cases!

Titan's Valentine Pillowcase

A snow day (or in today's case, an ice storm day) is a sew day for me! It's Saturday and we are having an ice storm. I don't want to go out on the ice, so I am using the time to sew.

Jessie picked this fabric for Titan's Valentine's Day pillowcase.

I am also working on Titan's quiet book. Usually I make one for each child's first birthday, but last summer was so unsettled what with my mom dying, Phyl dying, and my spinal fusion. His book is planned and the pages have been cut out, plus I've shopped for some appliqués and the cover fabric.

Some days I wish EVERY day were a sew day!

Sewing with Trinity

Arriving from Colorado for the holidays, Sarah brought a project for me to work on as a very special Christmas gift.

Trinity wanted for my help in making a baby blanket for Kate.

Her mama ordered the fabric and brought it with her, but Trin and I bought the backing fabric here in Lafayette at JoAnn's.

We worked on Kate's blanket late at night after the little cousins had gone down for the night.

But, once or twice we had to sew while the smaller cousins were up.

 Julie was very persistent in wanting to help us.

 We all got the giggles over the "extra help."

It was so worth it to watch Trinity on Christmas morning when Cole "helped" Kate open her gift.

 It was a very big moment for Trinity.

 I love the expression on her face - the joy of gift giving!

Later, she helped Kate out her new blanket and cuddle on the couch.

Christmas Table Runners

I found some wonderful fabric online (fabric.com - my favorite sewing web site) and asked if anyone wanted a table runner for Christmas.

Ashley and Vanessa both said that they did.

I love this fabric and wish I had bought more of it. Sadly, it is sold out.

I also had two yards of this fabric - perfect for table runners, too!

The Quad's Christmas Pillowcases

I had twelve different fabric choices for the moms to choose for their kiddos Christmas pillowcases. Jessie chose my absolute favorite for Cambria's!

 Cambria's.

 Titan's. (I am making his set early because he is old enough to notice and want what his sister has.)

Julie loved this fabric. I think it fits her sweet personality.

I love this polar bear fabric in green! This is what I used for Ian.

These were for for Drew and Annalee Thomas.

The Quads' Thanksgiving Pillowcases

Well, more than the quads - Jessica has asked that I make one for Titan, too, so his is included here, too.

 Titan's is on top, and Cambria's on the bottom.

 Julie's.

 Whitney's.

 Ian's. (His matches JC's.)

As a bonus, I made table runners for Sarah, Vanessa, Lisa, Ashley, and me from this beautiful fabric. And, I made pillowcases from the same fabric as Ian's and Whitney's for Drew and Annalee Thomas.

Titan's Halloween Pillowcase

Jessica told me that Titan now uses a pillow and would want a pillowcase when I sent Cambria's. I ordered some more fabric and sent this picture to Jessica so she could choose.

She chose the fabric on the upper left.
