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!!!!

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.
