I've been out of the studio for a few weeks, both because of travel, and because of having some work done in both the sewing studio upstairs and the wet (dyeing) studio in the basement. I was finally able to uncover the machine again to do some sewing, but needed something small to help me get in gear; I had finished up a couple of larger quilts just before the work was done, and didn't feel I could jump right into the next big project. So I decided to make up some more pillowcases for my bed. The ones on the right are duplicates of a pair I made out of the fabric used for the 4-patch stacked posie quilt below, which is on my bed. (The blocks are all made from the fabric used for the main body of the pillowcase.)
These pillowcases are fun to make. They would seem like a nice gift for friends, but I don't usually know anyone's bed linen decor, or whether they would like pillowcases that contrast with their sheets. So, here's my giveaway deal--write a comment for this post (can be as simple as "I'd love two pillowcases"), include your e-mail address (can be spelled with "at" instead of @ if you want to avoid spam possibilities) and I'll figure a way to choose an entry at random. I'll get to hear from readers who don't usually comment, and one of you will get two pillowcases with a fabric of your choice--my treat! (Details of fabric choice will be worked out with whoever wins the draw.) You have until 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 30 to leave a comment.
Hi Penny - your pillowcases are lovely! A little confused about which is which but they are ALL very beautiful. Please put me into your pillow case lottery. xo. Kay

Deletei love the fabric you used! hey any ufos you dont think you will finish would make a great giveaway too. i for one would love to enter that one babscorbitt@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteHow can I resist entering! I'm even willing to take just one standard/queen size pillow case with some navy blue plus ANY other colors so that I can brighten up our bed at the Penn State cabin. The quilt on that bed is navy blue with very limited white stitching. Don's pillow is a king size, so that may leave me out of the running for a second pillow case.

I like using pillowcases of all colors. When I change the linens, I pick out a case that matches my "mood" at the time.
