| This is another pillow top that I have quilted. |

| My daughter wanted a fluer de les. Her son cut the pattern out and I tried to put it together. It was a lulu. I finally got the wunder under and ironed it on and then I was able to get all the curves with a wide zig-zag stitch. That was my second try. I could not use the first one. Guess you learn as you go along. Stephanie is not really into ball but this is the New Orleans Saints emblem. I have more but need to take more pictures. Monday we went to a couple thrift stores. I found some fairly new window shams that I bought. I brought them home and ripped the seams out and a nice quilt jumped out at me. I also found a pillow sham that was new. I ripped the seams and a nice apron jumped out at me. Both cost me a little over 1.00 dollar. I look at the sheets when I go. I have found several that will make good backings on quilts. Can't buy material for a backing for 2.00 dollars. I even look at the evening dresses to see what I might like. So far on that line. I did not have scraps since it has been a long time since I sewed. So I am trying to get some cheap. Have any of you quilters done any thrift shopping for quilts or crafts? Write about it. |

The pillows looks so lovely! I love pillows that one has put together, as it gives such home a great 'homey' feeling.
I have missed some of your posts... for some reason, they have not shown up in my google connect reader (which I rely on to keep up). I'm glad I decided to come over for a wander anyway!
God bless you Aliene :D
Hi Aliene, thanks for your visit to my blog and for your kindness. I quilt some too, am self taught mostly but I love doing it..these are real cute. :D
I love your little dog pillow top. You are very talented. I'm not artistic in that way at all! Blessings ~
