I Finished

Yep, I finished all my Christmas sewing before Christmas eve.  I even had all the wrapping done.  Now that Christmas has come and gone, I've started birthday party planning and sewing.  I know that Christmas, and both boy's birthdays are the same day every year.  In 2014, I so plan on being more organized, sewing wise anyways.

For hubby's side of the family, I decided to do personalized oversized pillows.  The actual pillow didn't take that long.  It was the putting the name on there with my freemotion foot.

I had 7 of these pillows to do.  I wanted to do something quick and easy.  So what I did was buy a yard of each fabric.  Then I just folded it in half and sewed around the edges.  I put black fleece on the backside and then freemotion quilted the name on backwards. That was fun.  Anyways, they turned out great for kids.  I wish they were a little neater.  But I'm working on the technique.  And all the kids loved them.

And while I liked them.  And the kids liked them.  But they were hard to wrap and they took up a whole lot of space.  But they were a hit and worth it.

See, took up lots of space.

So today I went to the quilt shop, and Target, and JoAnn.  I got fabric for a quilt, an oversized pillow, and fabric for our 4-H project on Friday.  And I also got some stuff for the big kid's party next week.  But that's a whole other post.
