Happy Thanksgiving!
It's my turn to show you what I did with this fantastic pattern from Jillily Studio! I find that Blog Hops are a wonderful way to give myself a deadline to get projects done. I don't know about you, but I need dates and deadlines so that I don't keep putting things off to do down the road. This blog hop gave me a great opportunity to get some Christmas gifts made. I loved working on this pattern. I made one and stuff it as a pillow, but wouldn't it make a fantastic table runner? My mom hinted that she really would like this, but as a table runner. I meant to make it too, but time got away from me. The Holiday Lane pillow will be wrapped and under our Christmas tree for one lucky family member. I think she will love it! I would also like to make one for myself in the blue winter Minnesota fabrics that I have been saving for something special.

Your pillow is great! It would make a cute table runner too. I do like the blue background on it instead of the black it called for. Great job!

Cindy, I had a little trip through your etsy store :) My favorite pattern was tasting snowflakes. Your mug rugs are very cute. Do you have any tips for staring out in creating patterns to sell, I would like to begin the journey down that road. Thanks for sharing in the blog hop. your pillow is lovely! Janita
ReplyDeleteIt would indeed make a fantastic table runner. Sewing/quilting soothe the nerves especially at this time of year!

I love it Cindy - well done
ReplyDeleteLove your color choices. Cute mug rug. Vivian
ReplyDeleteLove it!! Super cute!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pillow. One quilty tip I share is to use old flannel sheets for quilt batting for items I don't want too lofty. It allows me to recycle and saves on the cost of batting..... Thanks for sharing and for an opportunity on a great draw

ReplyDeletegreat hollyday lane pillow, great picture and a lovely mugrug ☺
ReplyDeleteThat would be so cool to win. I am in the mug rug exchange. Your pillow turned out really nice.
ReplyDeleteOf course I follow you!
ReplyDeleteI agree that this design would be cute as either a table runner or wall hanging. It would even be cute incorporated into a row quilt--just add a few more houses to get the correct width. I've even thought about using trapunto to add dimension to the snow and the trees.
ReplyDeleteI collect penguins, so this is one pattern I would love to have!
ReplyDeleteI just finished my first queen size quilt I made all by myself! It was a Dresden plate quilt!
