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.

Very lovely pillowcases! Your fabric selection looks awesome!

love em all, especially the butterflies

Only prob is quilting cottons can be so wrinkley. Hate to give a gift that requires ironing. Any solution for that except chemicals?

Recent purchases of pillowcases has resulted in a lot of wrinkles after washing. I just smooth them out, fold and put on the shelf. By the time I put them on the bed, they are presentable enough. Might as well be coordinated rather than plain colors or white!

Just beautfiul! Great job stash matching!
Merry Christmas!

WOW Irish, can I come shop your stash? LOL Those are great!!

I like your stash ! And the pillows will be well received. I am off to make acouple myself. Merry Christmas !

How cute. It always amazes me when some says they pulled it from their stash and make things that match perfectly and they had enough fabric for the project. Since I am new at this.....I think I need a stash.
