Thanks for the complements on my pillows and banners.
Dottie Dodge...the easter egg pillow is 20 x 20 size. I did not put the top in a hoop. I think that using the buttons made it lay flat. I mostly used the buttons without the shank on the back. It was hard to put the shank ones on. But I did like how it gives it a textured look with the shank. (hope that made sense) .
I also made a heart for valentines day and a shamrock for st pats. someday I will get those pictures posted too.
Next I am going to make one for 4th of July. The pillow is just a cover that I purchased at IKEA for 4.99. and the pillow inside is also Ikea for 2.99. easy and cheap!

Barbara---that egg pillow is just too cute! How large is the pillow and did you put the top in a hoop to keep the egg so flat? I have jars and jars of buttons. I'll have the grands sort thru them for me. They always like to look thru my buttons. What is it about buttons that kids can't resist? I like the pillows you made from your dads shirts too. That is a very good idea and everyone should love hugging their pillow! And your birthday banner will be a great addition to any party.
