Today, the postman delivered two packages for me.
One contained the little purse made by Tierney, of Tierney Creates.
I was lucky enough to win one of her give-aways.
It just so happens that purple is my favorite color.
Thank you, Tierney!
The other package was a gift from my friend, Nancy.
It was a Seasons Placemat Kit from Connecting Threads.
Look at these gorgeous fabrics.
Thank you, Nancy!
It certainly felt like Christmas today.
So, I made Christmas burrito pillowcases for my grandchildren.
The material was purchased last week at the Village Quilting in Bentonville, Arkansas.
Last Thursday, my friends dropped me off at the store and I got lost in the fabric.
There was a room of seasonal fabric.
My friends were looking for a Christmas project, and I found the perfect one for us to do…
the 10 minute table runner. The store had some sample table runners.
When my friends returned to the shop, Lori, the store proprietor, proceeded to be so super helpful.
She demonstrated how to make the table runner.
Lori spent so much time with us.
I also purchased some polka-dot fabric for an unknown project. I just like polka-dots.
This is the pillowcase I made for my granddaughter.
These are for my grandson. He has a small pillow.
Lots of projects on the table!
Very pretty pillowcases. I’ sure they will be a big hit.
Thank you. I like to give them something on Thanksgiving to start the Christmas holidays.
Good idea.
How awesome that won one of tierney’s little purses. They are so useful! 🙂
Beautiful pillow cases, I’m sure your grandchildren will be very happy with these x
Thank you.🎄
Chela: I won one of Tierney’s smart mini wallets too. Love mine too!
Aren’t they the cutest? Just the right size.
It looks like the past two weeks have been good for you! Pillow cases are very cute!
A great two weeks! I chose snowmen for the pillowcases because my favorite Christmas book is The Snowman by Raymond Briggs.
I have only experienced enough snow to make a snowman once in my lifetime. My sons were younger and we built a family of 5 snowmen.
Growing up near Buffalo, NY, we saw lots of snow! I am glad you and your sons could experience making a snowmen at least once…I am sure you remember their joy.
Pure delight…I will always remember.
Glad to see the Fabric Gnome visits others! Love the fabric and pillow cases.
I love those Fabric Gnomes!
Thanks!
Oh you have so many happy projects! What a welcoming quilt shop you visited, I love polka dots too.
Your Tierney wallet is so special, I love the purple and batik fabrics. She chose that one to send with you in mind I’m sure 🙂
I have plans to make Christmas runners and placemats to give as gifts on Thanksgiving. Hope to get them done. I’m also studying One Block Wonders. I first read about these on Mary Puckett’s posts. I really want to make one.
That is a good idea, so people can have them during holiday season. Ugh, I know I won’t get enough done by Thanksgiving but maybe ahead enough for some “pre-Christmas” gifts. I’m going to look up One block wonder now, new to me Thanks!
I’m away from home with no machine😳
A friend and I plan to go to Salado,Texas tomorrow. There is a quilt shop there…no more projects!
Oh I can’t keep up with you! Enjoy! It’s hard to resist more fabric and more projects, a lot of mine are still in my mind. I can never decide what to start next 😋
It seems you and I have a Project – to -do List that is endless🙂
And I made Xmas pillow cases for my grandkids, too 😀
The pillowcases are easy to make and so much fun to give.
Sounds like some fun mail! 😀
