Transitioning from summer to fall is, for me, a bit like turning a big ship around. I seem to have trouble getting moving on anything creative for a few weeks. But I think I'm feeling motivated again. I've been spending time at my sewing machine.
Our youngest daughter headed off for her sophomore year of college, and she now has a small apartment on campus. We bought her a black futon/couch for her living area. To add some color, she asked me if she could take a very colorful lap quilt I made a few years ago. I wish I had pictures of it to show you, but I did manage to find some strips of fabric that I had used for it. So I sewed them into a couple of pillows, and I'll put them in the mail to her tomorrow. I think she'll love them! Here they are:
I made them as pillow covers, so they can be washed. I found these sweet buttons in my button jar, and I think they make the back opening look really cute!
I feel very accomplished! I didn't have to buy anything for this project -- I even had the pillow forms in the house. And I can't wait to send them off.
very cute indeed!
