Jenny’s Monthly Pillowcases

Mark’s granddaughter Jenavive (we call her Jenny) will be one year old December 17th (the day after my birthday!).  I decided to make her pillowcases, started out with only a few then just kept making them.  When I was done I realized I almost had enough for one every month.  So then I made a few more so I could have one for every month.  Course, after I got them all done, I thought I should embroider the month on them.  It turned into a really big project, but I had fun making them.  And I hope they are something she will treasure for a long time.

I should have turned this fabric the other way, it is backwards.    But not really worth doing over.

This one I probably should have turned the other way also, but for some reason I focused on the green ivy heart and the birdhouse, but it seems like more of the other items are upside down, the deer, stocking, tree, snowman and the house.  I hate when I do things like that.  But it still looks cute.

I made these pillowcases using the tube method.  Missouri Star Quilt Company has a great youtube video here:

 

Where Have I Been?

Well, I have been around, just busy. I’m a terrible blogger!  I’m sure no one reads me anymore because I NEVER post.  But, I’ll be posting quite a bit over the next two weeks, because we’re going on vacation!  I love vacations and we’re taking two weeks. 

We’re going on a camping trip to Florida, leaving Friday and will be at Disney in Orlando on Sunday, staying at the Fort Wilderness Campground.  We’ll be there until Thursday morning, then heading to Key West.  Not sure how long we will stay there, we have reservations until Sunday.  We don’t have to be back until the following week, so who knows what we will do our last week?  No planning, just fun!!
