I hope you are enjoying a fabulous weekend with family, good weather, and time to stitch, quilt, knit, whatever your heart desires! I am on day three of a four day weekend. Friday I was home because of a forced furlough day. State employees day off with no pay to help fix Virginia's budget crisis. I can think of a lot of other ways they could help the budget but what heck...it's a day off! I spent the day sewing with my oldest daughter, Heather. I took my machine and supplies to her house and we had a very productive day.
Despite a disastrous first attempt, I managed to finish this pillowcase for my grandson. I used the "sausage method" people were commenting about on Jackie's blog.. It is the way my LQS owner showed me. I read a tutorial and then watched a YouTube video and figured it out. Now that I know how to do this I plan to make many more! I just have to watch the fabric I choose because of the directional issue.
Well, that's all for now. I have lots more to share but it's time to get ready for church then having a family day. I have been behind in my blogging due to life getting in the way. I'll catch up soon! Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend Sunday!!!

That's a lovely pillow case Carol, I'm very impressed. I still have pillow cases that I had when I was a little girl. You never know, that pillow case could become a family heirloom!
What a neat pillowcase, Carol! Love the prints you used!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

It's easier than I thought it would be. I can't believe I put off making pillowcases for so long.
To Christina's point about your pillow becoming a family heirloom, I have several pillowcases made by my grandmother. I wouldn't part with them for anything. Your grandson is going to treasure his as well I'm sure.
How great Carol!! I really like this! Just perfect for a boy! Woudn't a cowboy print, with a read bandana print, and denim on the end look cute? I may have to make a couple of those now for my great nephews! Thanks for the inspiration!
