CHRISTMAS PILLOWS FOR 2010

This year I made all the kids ( all 12 of them) a family pillow! I saw the stitchery pattern in a quilting store and I loved it!

I got some pretty white fabric's (fat quarters) with a pattern on them and some backing. I used a embroidery hoop and started the stitching. After about 5 of them I decided to put together one pillow to see if I liked it. I DID!
I sewed the ruffle on the front of the pillow .........
Then with the right side of the fabric facing the ruffle and the right side of the pillow I stitched around the rectangle leaving about 6 inches open.

I then turned it inside out and used a thin dowel to push out the corners.
Then I stuffed them!
And Whala! A simple stitch but a beautiful message!

All 12 finished and ready to wrap! Merry Christmas kids!
