Lstew, thank you for my blocks! Yes, they are both great.
Hav, good to hear from you! So very sorry about your BIL's death. My heartfelt condolences to you, your sister, and the whole family.
WMUT, I agree. Retreats are too much fun, but probably not the right setting to get serious sewing done. Pillowcases sound like the perfect thing to make there. Glad you enjoyed it.
