Lanie’s pillow & quilt
I decided to make a home state pillow, for our granddaughter, to match her quilt I made a couple years ago. Her birthday is early March. She also lives out of her home state now, so after making my sister’s pillow, I thought this would be a good present for Lanie. I left off the red heart on this one, but I ended up making my own pillow forms. I’ll show it too. Looks and feels just like the bought ones. I also had to piece the back at the bottom bc this was leftovers from her quilt. My sister still makes the long drive so she has plenty room to bring home, but Lanie flies, so I may mail hers. Although, I’m distrustful. A package with gifts from Italy to my sister had 2 gifts out of the package missing! Unbelievable how the thief picked and chose. Then my son-in-law’s mother sent a package and when it arrived to Tennessee it was empty!

Beautiful finishes! They are sure to be treasured and loved! Yes, theft is a huge problem overseas! I used to work at a dental alloy company (primarily precious metals) and I worked in their foreign division. When sending to certain countries we would use old school wax and stamp seal to ensure that the original package had not been tampered with. Import/Export is an interesting field, and the theft rate is astounding.
