Pillows for Christmas

Now that Christmas is over, I can show a few of the things I made for gifts this year. For my nieces I made these pillows.


They were fun, and I learned a few things along the way.
For my friend, Sherry, I made this pillow


again, it is a learning experience. Just hope I remember the things I should have done differently by the time I get around to making more pillows!
Taking my time getting the Christmas stuff down - I see no need to rush!

Umm, I was waiting to learn what you learned along the way! I have started a "quilt" from denim with the seams frayed. I am cutting up old jeans. What did you use? How did you get the edges to fray nicely?
Blessings,

I love the pillows for the girls. That looks like a lot of work. Good job! I'm impressed.

You just stitch yourself up a storm, don't you? I use to do the same thing, a decade ago. I so hope arthritis doesn't ever put a stop to your beloved hobby, as it pretty much did for me. And if it ever does, let's hope you have a bevy of wonderful stitched items all around you, as I do, to remember it by when you end up out to pasture in the garden. Happy New Year, blogging friend!
