| Joining French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday! |
I bought this lovely ticking stripe fabric from my favorite fabric outlet a few months ago. It's a Waverly pattern - the fabric has a heavy weave and it is very nice to touch.
I gave my attention to skirts, and baby quilts and knitting. But yesterday I got the bug to do them and after a bit of discussion about the ruffle with Lindsay, I got to it! Such an easy and quick project! I cut out the body of the cover 21x21 inches to give room for the seams and then the ruffle I cut 2 strips of 4 inches wide by 108 inches in length. After sewing it into a strip, I hand gathered it onto one of the body pieces and then sewed the ruffle to it. Then I laid the other body piece on top, attaching it but leaving a space unsewn so that I could turn it right side out and insert the pillow form. I then hand stitched it closed. Voila'!
My other project yesterday came after a text from my sister in law Paula - my niece in love and nephew had their second boy! He came two days before her scheduled csection. So the project? Why watching for Facebook statuses of the family! I knew they would have photos up as soon as they could and I wanted to see him!

| This is my brother Robert, with my nephew Ryan and his TWO sons! Cayden is the big brother and his little brother is Camden! They live in California and the way we keep in touch is through Facebook, email and texting! Now my project for today is to get Camden's quilt into the mail, along with a knit hat for each boy. My parents now have 3 great-grandchildren - my brother is a Popi and I am a Grandma! Multigenerational family. I love it! We are eagerly anticipating December because my niece Jill and her husband Rodney are having a baby boy! The family is growing! So exciting! |

Sometimes it just takes the investment of a little time to give our home (and ourselves) a lift. Thanks for sharing. :-)
