Blue Christmas progress

I have been working most afternoons for a bit on this hand quilting project.  I am kind of torn when I hand applique something - and I usually think I should hand quilt it too.  This was an easy choice as it is relatively small.

I love the feathers especially when hand quilting...

Striped Pillow

My new project is complete.  How's that for fast.  My friend Marilyn is doing some redecorating and needed a pillow to match the cushion on her bench so yesterday I made this cover.

Word of Advice:  don't make the pillow cover ANY bigger than the pillow form.  No need for ease.  I had to cut this one down after I made it... but it was pretty quick all things considered.

The piping is just the reverse of the striped fabric.  I hope she likes it...
