Pillow Power!

If you can't make a quilt....
 Make a pillowcase!!!!

Or TWO!!!!

These are for a 9 year old boy who just
underwent a FIVE organ TRANSPLANT!!!
Talk about AMAZING!

Even better....

Here's an idea from my friend.....
Make pillowcases for the siblings who are at home and healthy.
They could really use some special attention too!!!!

I used an old pattern that is VERY similar to this one.
I made my accent strip wider though...
Instead of 1 1/2" like some patterns call for...
I cut mine 3"(much LESS fiddly). ;)

Another note about these pillowcases:
Be CAREFUL using directional prints!
I had a VERY hard time figuring out ...
wrapping my brain around....
which way to cut the fabric
so that the horses and cars were going side to side
and not UP AND DOWN!

I'm sure YOU won't have THAT problem though!!!!
