Pillow Fun….
YD had two friends over today and we set up shop for a quilting lesson. We are making pillows. Here is our station.
They laid out the 5 inch squares into their pattern and started to sew two patches. Those will be ironed and made into 4 patches, and so on, until we have a front and a back.
Next, both right sides together and sew all three sides. Whip stitch the fourth side and voila, we are done!! Here they are….
Didn’t they do a great job!! Next, Spring Break, a lap tied quilt!!
these are great!!...wild..crazy and fun. they did wonderful....maybe this will be the beginnings of future endeavors!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project for the school break!! It's so good to finish the project... and great fabrics to brighten up those winter mornings!
ReplyDeleteHow fun. I'll bet they were thrilled with their finished pillows!
ReplyDeleteGreat project...in fact, when I was 10, a patchwork pillow was my first project ever! So you've probably got three quilters for life there!
ReplyDeleteOh, how nice of you! I had a "BFF" in junior high and we wanted to make matching skirts. Her mom walked us through the whole thing, zippers and all! I still remember that... er, almost 20 years later. The girls did a great job and you did a great thing teaching them!
ReplyDeleteoh how colorful and fun! they will remember this day with you forever! love it! ☺

ReplyDeleteWhat funny pictures. I love the staging. So cute. Good for you teaching them. Like I said, where would we be if no one taught us! They turned out really cute.
