It’s Friday… already

I have no idea where this week went.  First thing you know it is Sunday evening and you are enjoying a turkey dinner with your family, and the next thing you know it is midnight on Thursday and you are trying to finish up a project before Friday morning (didn’t finish).  Sigh.  How time does fly.  For my Sew&Tell this week I am posting some pillows/covers I made.  My sister is making her first ever quilt.  A resolution for last year (her resolution “deadline” has always been Chinese New Year, so she has one more week) was to make a quilt.  So last week we went and picked out some fabric and got it all cut and the top done in one day.  She sewed, I ironed.  She left the scraps with me, and this is what I made yesterday.  (Scraps are dangerous at my house…. I can’t ever throw them away.  Ever., not even the tiniest piece.)

She already has pillows to go inside the two large one’s, but I stuffed the small one with polyfill.  I mean, when you have a 10-ish inch scrap of EVERYTHING you just can’t stop at two.

My biggest accomplishment in his whole adventure was that the backs look prettier than anything I’ve ever made.  All my/her seams are pressed tight and all go in the correct direction.  Scott keeps telling me that it doesn’t matter, because no one is going to see it.  But I don’t care.  I know it’s there.  And it gives me warm fuzzies.  Go check out the other Sew&Tell’s.  It’s one of my favorite things about Friday!

PS… My birthday is next week, and I am going to have a giveaway to celebrate.  I almost finished it last night, but decided at 12:30 I just wasn’t going to finish.  Hopefully today during naptime.  Keep checking!
