Constellations pillow cover

'Remember the Constellations QAL that Mari at:The Academic Quilter Blog hosted in 2017? My block for May was too large for the quilt, so I just saved it to make a pillow cover after the quilt was finished. Here is the pillow. It measures 18" square, and the quilting is horizontal with the walking foot. Pillow covers are relatively easy to make, and are a wonderful way to decorate without spending too much money or requiring a lot of time. They can definitely change the mood of a room, can't they?

H2H 2018 prizes

Good evening everyone. Wow, a post from me after dark. Pictured above are the wonderful prizes that I won for participating in this year's: Hands 2 Help Charity Challenge. Look what Sarah sent: a pack of 6 quilting/sewing clips and a mini charm pack of Early Bird, designed by Kate Spain for Moda. Those clips will also work well for holding my finished quilts to the fence for photos. 'Much better than clothes pins, that are not sturdy enough to hold such weight. Thanking Sarah, and the sponsor who provided these prizes.
