    Cool Pillowcases with australian motives

    I made those 2 pillowcases for the children of australian missionaries in Africa, thought it would be something to remind them of their home country. A dear friend of mine took them with her when she flew over to visit and give some help.

    I am sure they will enjoy them. What a nice idea, laying your head down on something reminding you of home, hope it carries over to their dreams. By the way the fabric on the 2nd one is way cute!!!
