1 Million Pillowcase Challenge

Have you heard of the 1 Million Pillowcase Challenge sponsored by allpeoplequilt.com?  You can go here to download patterns and find the names of shops in your area that are participating.  These pillowcases are easy to make.  I completed these three last evening using their Basic Pattern.   I again used fabric from my stash (goal for the year).  The chocolate fabric is left over from a chocolate themed apron I made for my friend Sara's retirement gift.   I purchased the striped fabric and when I got home I realized that the apron pattern would not work with directional print.  So it was added to my stash and now it has become a "Calorie Free Chocolate" pillowcase.

Sara's Chocolate Lovers Apron

Matilda is wearing an apron I made for my friend Sara's retirement. She loves chocolate and plans to take classes on chocolate making in her retirement. I couldn't resist the "Chocolate" fabric and I then found some matching fabric with a chocolate brown background and hearts. So it's a Chocolate Lovers Apron.

I had planned to make a chocolate cake pin cushion but didn't get it finished. My granddaughter was ill last week and had to stay home from school for the entire week. Mema (me) spent a few days with her so my son and his wife could go to their day jobs. Needless to say, I was exhaused each evening when I returned home. No blogging or working in the studio last week. I'm back at it this week.

Oh, yes do you like Matlida's spring dress. It is a lovely vintage double knit dress with a matching jacket. She usually is wearing pearls with this dress. Guess it almost time to find her a summer outfit.
