Two finishes

 So what have I been doing? 


and,

Which makes two finishes.....
This one was for my daughter.


This one has a story.....

About a year and a half ago, I started making the blocks for this quilt. A start and stop, again start and stop. I finally got discouraged and handed the pieces over to my cousin and told her she could make it for herself or just trash it. Well this sweet cousin made the quilt and gave it to me for Christmas last year. I never got around to quilting it. But decided that THIS year I would quilt it up and it now hangs in my dining room.

Yay for finishes.

Grateful Pillow

 I am always blown away at the cost of pillows. I mean two pieces of fabric, a little bit of stuffing and the cost is over $20.

I'm not really much of a DIY crafter, but when an opportunity comes up, I rise to the occasion.

My daughter bought a placemat for $3. When she brought it home, she thought about making a wall hanging. BUT! Mom took it in another direction. The pillow.

I purchased a pillow form for about $5, found fabric in my stash for the backing and created my own Grateful pillow for under $10.

As opposed to the Target pillow
 
 that listed for $40.

I can live with that!
