oh, how fun!
Pillowcases as unique as yours has got to be one of the best gifts of all! <wave>
Congratulations on shopping your stash, by the way :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

you did a great job (and could use fabric from your stash)

I think now you need to reward yourself and go shopping at LQS

I made and embroidered 10 as gifts last year and I felt the same way. I kept one for my grand when she visits and they do get softer with each washing. The only solution I have found is to take them out of the dryer immediately.

The pillowcases are gorgeous, I can't imagine having all that coordinating fabric in my stash lol!!!!

Good job! I'm afraid my stash would not be up to such a task :!:

Even better - decided I would not go to the LQS for fabric but would shop my stash. I found great fabrics in my own stash - I doubt I would have found anything I liked better at the shop and now I feel so virtuous that I might need to reward myself with a trip to the LQS (just kidding).

Still have to bind a quilt for my son before the big day, but I am getting there.

I know this sounds corny but I have no idea how to make these beautiful cases. Wish someone was closeby to show me how. I would be every so grateful since my pillowcase supply looks a little tattered and torn. You did a beautiful job on them.

Your pillowcases are awesome. What a great feeling to find the fabric in one's stash.
