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 New Tradition

In an earlier post I showed you my fabric that I purchased in TX.


This fabric is now pillowcases to start a new tradition in our family. (Trina's idea) Each family will get one. Then when someone has a birthday they get to use the pillowcase for that month or week or whatever depending on how many birthdays they have in that month. Here they are in a bad picture!


I wrote: Happy Birthday Love Nana along the edge.


I followed a tutorial here. It was VERY easy! I hope this is a tradition that will be carried on through generations.
