I finished a beautiful pillow today. We are doing a pillow exchange at the Triangle MQG this month, so I made this pillow for my secret pillow partner. This pattern is called Gumdrop and can be found in the book Pillow Pop. Our pillows were supposed to be 18″ so I had to adjust the size of each block slightly.
I had a lot of fun making this, and love all the bright colors. From what I hear, a long running stitch is all the rage in modern quilting now. So, I decided to quilt this pillow using the long running stitch, and I love how it turned out. I really hope she likes it!
I have another finish this week as well. I finished my challenge project for the Make it Right Challenge with Art Gallery Fabrics. I have not yet been able to take picture though– it’s been rainy all week, and today was much too windy outside. Hopefully one other day this weekend I can get some pictures taken and show it to you. In the meantime, here is a sneak peak…
Oh, and I made one more square for Quilts for Boston and got those mailed off to the Boston MQG. Click here to see the other blocks I made.
Overall, a very successful sewing week, fit in with work and a Kenny Chesney concert.
Linking up with Finish it Friday at Crazy Mom Quilts, Link a Finish Friday at Richard and Tanya, and Can I Get a Whoop Whoop at Confessions of a Fabric Addict.
