Sweet Life.
That's the name of this super easy and fun pattern from Camille Roskelley's book Simply Retro. It's the next project on the Quilt Along hosted by Jana, hop on over to her blog and see what other people have made. We are almost done with the book!!
I opted out of making a full quilt since I already have done one baby quilt and I am working on another baby quilt and one full sized quilt, both from this book.

So I decided to make a pillow using these Kate Spain Fat Quarters I got this summer.
And I used some "word" fabric full of Christmas cheer, I already had for the back.
Wondering what that flap is for? It's a zipper cover.
I used to be a Zippophobe (to use the word from The Patchsmith, Amanda.) It means "someone who has fear or anxiety at the thought of inserting, installing, attaching or assembling a zipper into any type of sewing project."
So yep! I finally faced my fear and did a zipper, I used Amy's tutorial from her blog Amy Made that! It was really a cinch! I think I am going to buy zippers in bulk now! : )
And as an added bonus for me, this project also serves as my Christmas Once a Month Project hosted by Julie the Crafty Quilter. YAY!!
So I have two great Christmas pillows ready for December.
It's time to start cranking out more Christmas Crafts.
Your pillow is so cute... posing with your Scottie Doggie ! Your fabrics are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteLook out... you'll be zippering anything you can get your hands on now! LOL

Love the Christmas pillow! It's so darling! And good work with the zipper! I am definitely a zippophobe, otherwise I might attempt a few pillows of my own. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou did it!!! {I knew you could!} That pillow looks great on both sides, and I love the fabrics you picked out for it. Too cute with the little dog pillow!
ReplyDeleteI think you would be proud of me Elaine! I sewed my first patchwork pillow and it came out great and it was lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteYour little doggy pillow is sooooo cute! Hope all is well!
