Strippy Pillow

I guess I’ve been in a pillow-making mood, because I whipped this guy up just now. This was actually pretty simple to make. I made it using jelly roll strips – you can make a total of four 16″x16″ pillows with just one jelly roll.
Anyway, I just wanted to show you all some pictures of it…if you want a tutorial let me know and I’ll get that posted. 🙂
This pillow uses the Prayer Flag collection by Moda, and a major plus is there is no zippers involved! Anyway, let me know your thoughts and if you’d like to see a tutorial!
Happy quilting everyone!

Long time no post!

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July! Long time no post! As some of you know i haven’t been feeling very well which has been getting in the way of my crafting, big time. Lucky me, I get this entire week off of work – I hope to start feeling better soon so i can get some quilting in during my week off.

I’m off to a so-so start, as I managed to finish the embroidery pillow I started in early June. It turned out great AND it’s my very first embroidery project ever!
And the back of the pillow is just as cute as the front. I really love this colorway of olives, grays, aquas and reds…i know it’s still summer but it’s getting me excited for Fall! I guess I can’t help it being from Seattle 🙂
I made this pillow using pre-cut 2.5″ squares, also known as “crumbs”. You can also make it by quartering a charm square.
This lovely line called “Little Apples” by Aneela Hoey will be released by Moda this Fall. And yes, I will be selling this line as soon as Quilting in the Rain, the shop, is open. 🙂 I’ve been a busy bee ordering a substantial collection of pre-cut inventory and working on the website with a goal to have the online shop open by this Fall, if not sooner! With all that’s been going on, this Summer has been going by too fast! Stay tuned for more updates. 🙂
That’s it for now…just a quick post to show you what’s up at Quilting in the Rain.

Happy Quilting!
