Pillowcase Challenge!!!

Did you know that I'm an OLFA Creator? I've been very humbled and honored to even be part of this group... they are all insanely talented and a group of designers that I look up to. It's been a lot of fun so far. I get to play with a bunch of OLFA products and share projects that I make using them.  I also get to tell you all about fun stuff that OLFA is doing. Like this.....


Pattern for the above pillowcases can be found here.

Have a great day!
Happy quilting!
