1-February-2014 Project of the Month Photo's.
 

ooooooooooooooh .... pretty!!! :)

Love the flowers sulabug. Thanks for hosting again. Mary

Ok heres my pillowcase..
I decided i wanted to use flannel since its cold right now.. and well my kiddo just 'wants' everything i make these days anyhow.. I used a soft butterfly flannel with a lil bit of glitter for the body and the same pink flannel for the ruffle ( wasnt pleased with it) and the cuff.. I used regular pink quilting cotton for the drawstring-I used leftover pink binding- worked like a charm.. I do suggest to use the turning tool to turn the 'string'.. and have a nice big safety pin or the thingamabob that will thread the sting thru the cuff of the pillowcase.. AND I surged my edges, cut a few corners..and i like the clean seams of serging.. I like the end result.. and I have one happy lil kiddo too !!

I stuffed two lap quilts and still had plenty of room..

More true to colors... Pic of Flannel Pillowcase and reg quilting cotton for drawstring..
I wanted a 'smooth' pull and didnt think flannel on flannel would allow the drawstring to pull easily..

thanks for looking and THANKS FOR THE TUTE !!!
It was fast fun and easy..

Oooooh pretty! I have made lots of pillowcases, but never one like this. Back to the stash.

Thanks sula bug.
this is an easy project, but for the ones that are a bit more complicated, where can we find instructions and fabric requirements???

Thanks for posting here for all of us to get a jump on whatever we need a cutesy gift.
A BIG thanks.

Luvtoquilt, very cute, I'm not sure which picture colors I like best. both ways are pretty.

Love the cases that have been posted, great job, SulaBug and LovetoQuilt.

Yes, Yes loving this months project. Perfect idea for a present for my grandson... He asked if I would make him an Adventure Time theme Pillow... I think I will be doing a bit of applique on the pillow so will take me a bit longer to make but that's a great challenge for me. :thumbup:

Lovely cases! No requests here but I'm going to make one for myself :D

Congratulation's luvTooQuilt, you are the first one to get her pillowcase done & posted on this thread!! :D I love your idea of using flannel & I have a young grandson that would love to have a flannel one, too. The idea's are just flowing & they are all great. Keep them coming & don't forget to post your pictures for all of us to ENJOY!!
:D :D :D :D

Thanks SulaBug... I love the POM ideas... Keeps me using up scraps and expands my horizons to try something new..

Is it March Yet? Waiting Impatiently for the then next POM.. lol..

Hee-Hee...........No, it's not quite March yet, but I am hoping you will be surprised with this next project too!! It's so nice to know that everyone is loving the February project & also looking forward to the March one!! Keep up the good work.
:D :D :D :D

I can't post pics but I love the ruffle on the closed end! I always imagined it at the opening. I may make a few of these for each of my ruffle lovin daughters! Great idea Sula!

Sulabug, I posted my pics in the discussion section. Please remove that post, if possible.
Everyone's pillowcases are cute. I like the idea of using flannel.

Here are mine.
I made mine from 5-pack fat quarter bundle from WM. I used 2 different fabrics for the front and back(forgot to take a pic of the back). I made the ruffle longer. If I did another case, I would make the drawstring longer. I had to join pieces and it came out a bit short.
Pics look a bit washed out. Camera battery must be low.

Thanks for the great February project.

LOVE your PILLOWCASE GIFT BAG!! :D

Hey Everyone..................where are the rest of you ladies, with pictures of the Gift Bag Pillowcases that you are making. I can hardly stand the suspense of waiting to see more pictures!! :D I have been so excited with the one I made, that I have ventured out & made two mores pillowcases using different pattern's. They are going to make wonderful gifts!!
:D :D :D :D

I'm working diligently on mine. Didn't want to post picture until it was all done. Trying to decide what stitch I want to use on the applique so currently its hanging on my design wall until the light bulb in my head goes on. LOL :D:D

Sulabug lets see your new ones.I like seeing what all have been made so I can use them as a start for mine.Mary

I tried! This is mine as you can see, I started altering, not a big ruffle fan. So that went, then I decided to use my pocket differently. I wanted it this way so I could put my iPhone in it why I napped or a tissue. I have king size pillows so I needed some extra length. I also, decided to do this in a girly color as sometimes I stand a better chance of umm, not loosing it shall we say. I am happy with the results, although not like the others. That is me in a nutshell.

Very pretty deedum. I think the idea is to make it how ever you feel. Like last months fabric boxes. So many different takes on the same idea. I love it.

deedum. love the case!

Thanks, I may take to make another one when time permits. It is just how I felt making it at the time, much like my quilts. I am truly a free spirit on these things. I must say I do like to see variations as well. Love the eye candy.

thanks tapper. I am anxious to see some others pictures of what they make too.

Hi Mary,

I posted the two new pillowcases that I made under Pictures, on the Quilting Board. Here is the link to see them. I hope you enjoy what I have done. I am still planning on making a few more for gifts. Enjoy!!
:D :D :D

[h=1]2 more pillowcases all done.[/h]

Jenniky...................So glad to hear that you are working on yours & am anxious to see your photo when it's all done. I just know that it is going to be BEAUTIFUL!! :D Thank you for letting us all know. We'll be watching too!!
:D :D :D :D

Deedum.............WOW, your Gift Bag Pillowcase turned out wonderful & I especially love how you changed it, a little bit, to fit your needs. That's part of what's so wonderful about making these projects, we can all make little changes to fit our own needs. If you don't mind, I would like to use your idea to make one for my Mother. She is always losing her Kleenex in bed & this would be perfect for her. I know she'll love it. Thank you for sharing.
:D :D :D :D

SulaBug,
Thanks, It just worked for me. I must admit I do like the pocket. Sometimes you just need a Kleenex or whatever. I am sure yr mom will like it. Be sure and post a pic so we can all see :)

sulabug, have you seen the pocket pillowcase on www.justanotherhangup.blogspot.com ? I made quite a few of those for gifts this year, thought I had pictures of them but can't find any. It is another cute and easy case. I embroidered on the pocket and put books in them for 12 grandkids.

Sulabug your cases are so pretty. I love blue and yellow together. One of these days I need to make something with those colors. I like the blocks you put on the ends. Mary

Finished my Quilt Pillowcase today. I made it to match a quilt that I had made several years ago so if I ever give it away it has a case to put it in. A quick, nice project of the month. Thanks SulaBug.

OMGoodness gramquilter2, your Gift Bag Pillowcase turned out so lovely & I am thrilled that you are using it to put a matching quit in. Of all of the idea's, I have to say that I am most pleased with the matching quilt idea. Although I know that my granddaughter will use her's for an overnight bag, but that's okay too!! Keep the pictures coming everyone as it is so exciting getting to see the next one made.
:D :D :D :D

Gramquilter how pretty your case is. Can we see a picture of the quilt too?

That is beautiful gramquilter2. Now you make me want to make another one.

Love this case. The floral ruffle matching the body of the case...that really appeals to me. Thanks for sharing.

How fun was this, it was nice to start and finish at one sitting. Thank you SulaBug awesome project :)

Judy in Phx,AZ

Judy..................your Pillowcase Gift Bag project turned out awesome. I love the fabric's & color's that you have put together. Isn't it wonderful when you can get a project like this done at one sitting? :D Thank you for sharing with all of us here on the Quilting Board.
:D :D :D :D

Happy Valentines day Sula and all.

I finished my Gift Bag/Pillow Case. Here is the picture. Thanks Sula for the great pattern pick for this month. :thumbup:
