It's been a busy week and I didn't get a lot accomplished today, but did turn on my Bernina and did a little quilting that turned into a ....... Pillowcase!!! :)
So I made about 24 HST in green and pink! And just sewed them together lined up one after another. Then I wanted some green between the pink and the HST's so I added a 2" piece of green on the bottom. Then I sewed it to the 10" piece of fabric for the cuff. I added the pink accent band and then attached everything to the body fabric. I love it!
I would love to figure out how to make that band go up instead of down, up towards the band vs. down towards the body.
Here's the back. :) I try to make the back as neat as the front. Comes from my Mennonite quilting teacher!
And here's the whole case. I think it's pretty neat! :)
And the 6 I've made so far. I'm going to have to start mailing these away or giving them to friends here in town!!
Went out for dinner last night with a friend and ate way too much, in fact ate so much that I was still really sluggish this morning. Didn't feel good until about noon. Had some fresh strawberries for breakfast/lunch and will have a salad for dinner. Eating out is filling, perhaps I need to make a bigger effort to bring at least half my food home for lunch the next day.
Ok, I might have time tonight to make another pillowcase, have to figure out what I want to do, it's got to be different than what I've done so far! :)
Have a great day! God Bless, Anne

When you press the seam that olds the flange, press it down toward the body of thepillowcase if you need to sew a second seam right close to the first one, like you would on a collar of a garment.
I do so love your pillow case!!! You are on a huge roll. Up how many is that now? 2,476????
Did that make sense? Press the seam that HOLDS the flange. There is a period and some spaces in what should be the second sentence.
Did you know I also speak gibberish???? LOL
