Sew Sew Modern 3 Swap - Large Item: Pillow Cover

I went ahead and made a pillow cover as the "large" item for my partner. I hope she likes it. From the information I gathered of my partner...I think this is her style. I'm sort of hoping she doesn't like it because I will gladly keep it for myself! I love the way it turned out and how fun it is! I finished it off with hand stitching each center square, a hidden zipper on the back and did the binding by hand.

I ordered my zippers from Zipit. They carry a WIDE variety of sizes in so many colors! If you're in need of any zippers use coupon code QUARTERINCHER for 15% off your purchase in their shop!

Finished size: 12" x 18"

Now I need to work on my small item! Yay! I hope you like where this is going Partner!

Kaleidoscope Pillow & 100th Post Giveaway!

Today marks my 100th post! Wow! To celebrate this glorious day, I have a giveaway! But first...my new pillow :)


I made another beautiful pillow yesterday. I was so anxious to make this Kaleidoscope picture the minute I saw Rita's version on her blog Red Pepper Quilts. I obviously decided to go a different direction with the style and colors. I really love the way it turned out! As if there wasn't enough going on with it already...I decided to do some stitching  in black. I thought about using Red or Yellow but Black really seemed to complete the look. What do you think?

Finished Bloomin' Rainbow Pillow!

Here is the finished pillow! It looks so pretty on my couch and really brightens up the place! I decided on Alexander Henry's Kaori Floral Indochine Print. I really love the way it goes with the top! Almost all the colors are in it :)
