Pillow posting.......

Found an orphan block and some lovely Phillip Jacobs fat quarters in the stash and made a pretty pillow! They are everywhere in blogland lately--have you seen all the posts about pillows??! Here's the back. Always like a zipper (or an 'envelope') closure for washing purposes.....

They make great gifts and this is for a 50th birthday this weekend. (Hope she likes it ;-)
Have to share this wonderful gift I received from my DH's family........

A White treadle machine! I forgot to take a picture of her when the cabinet was open! She's in a safe corner for now while I research finding a belt and more info on her. (She's very pretty and will be in a future post!)
Can't get away without grandbaby pictures.....He'll be 6 months the end of February and she's almost 14 months!! Happy sewing :-)
