Personalized Pillowcases

My friend, Olivia, is getting married in July. We held an Around the Clock bridal shower for her this week, so a gift was in order. Now I know her wedding colors are yellow and gray, and I happened to see some that I really liked when I was fabric shopping one day. So, I chose 1:00 a.m. As my time and whipped up a set of pillowcases.


And to make them His and Hers I machine embroidered a message on each one.


Hers--Andrew Loves Olivia and His--Olivia Loves Andrew. Sweet Dreams!

A Little Christmas Decorating!

No, I'm not actually decorating for Christmas--yet. My nephew is getting married in two weeks, so we had a shower for his fiancé. I decided to give them some Christmas items to decorate with.

First I made them a table runner. I used a charm pack and a fat quarter of Countdown to Christmas by Sweetwater for Moda.


I meandered around on the blocks.


And I used a fancy stitch on my machine to edge the strip at each end. I used white thread, so it is hard to see.


Then I decorated a little tree with some lights, ribbon, and red berries. I put it in an aged bucket and surrounded it with pine cones. And made a big ribbon to put on it.


Merry Christmas, Clint and Kayla!
