I've been trying to spend some time working on items for my etsy shop. In particular, eye pillows. They sell really well this time of year and all year long really. I spent 2 days cutting 60 rectangles.
I've also been working on some of my WIP's.
I finished my January block for the Lucky Stars BOM. I decided to make the 6 inch squares because I wanted to use a charm pack that I already had. It's Eat Your Fruits and Veggies from Moda.
I like the way it turned out. Although, I did make a mistake which I didn't even notice until I started taking pictures of it. Can you see it?
I meant to alternate the star points of the blue fabric so that the cherry fabric was on opposite points but somehow it didn't turn out that way. And I was being really careful too. Oh well.
I've gotten all my half square triangles made for my Saturday Sampler BOM. I just need to finish trimming them and sew them into the square.
And finally, this is how far I've gotten on my paper pieced pillow.
I've got a white border going on but it's not big enough. I need it to fit a 24x24 inch pillow form and I think it's about 18x18 now. So, I ordered some solid green fabric and also one of the damask prints that's in the pillow. I think I'm going to make a border with the green and then use the damask for the back. Also, I'm thinking about doing a cording but I'm not sure. I'll keep you posted.
Hope everyone is having a great week!
