Hi, it’s Cindy hosting our blog again today!
Possibility = Reality
I found this pretty buffalo check fleece and decided to make a travel pillow for a friend. Who wouldn’t like a soft, cozy pillow when traveling by land, air or sea? It’s very “packable” at 12 inches x 16 inches.
Since fleece stretches, I used the stretch knit stitch to finish the edges of the envelope closures and to sew the side seams. I like the decorative look AND the fleece can stretch without the stitches breaking.
Here’s the finished product…I think I should will make one for myself!
Possibility Soon to Become Reality
I bought a tea towel with this fun vacation phrase. I am going to find coordinating scraps and surround the phrase with patchwork.
The possibilities are endless…what would you do with it? I’d love to hear from you…all suggestions welcome!
How about a log cabin or surrounded by fish? It’s a lovely phrase.
Great ideas, Kamilla! I will play around with these…thanks!
Hi Cindy! I love your pillow and I definitely think you NEED to make yourself one of these pillows. I love the Buffalo Plaid print in all shades, but these blues look great. They kind of look nice with with the tea towel. I would probably just make it into a wall hanging. Happy Friday! ~smile~ Roseanne
Hmmm, never thought about the buffalo check/tea towel combo! Yes, a wall hanging is a distinct possibility!
Oh! I love it! I would make it a sign in front of an scene with a lake, the cattails, a red canoe and an appliqued fish jumping in the lake. Perfect for solids and a mix of batik fabrics!
Thanks, Kat! Batiks would be nice and I do have lots of scraps! Will start playing around now that I am back from my Lake Michigan vacation!
