A week of pillowcases day 3

I love pillowcases. Thanks Pip and Kootoyoo for this week!

Oh my, these pillowcase ideas have pushed in to my 'things to do' pile, relegating things that have been Waiting Patiently to later in the month.

Love this quilt made from pillowcases - my kind of quilt!! Found here at Vintage Chika. I will need some lessons from Curlypops so I can make bias edging. Miss 2 actually ATE the instructions.



And I am really wanting to make one of these bags, done here by jupiterbuttons. Apparently it's a Martha idea, but she did her own version, which just looks like something I will have to make for Christmas presents for everyone I know!



On a sad note, my poor little Janome has packed up, and needs a good service. I will be without her for at least a week, so have decided that a week away from blogging may also be in order!

A 100th post holiday. Ten hours in the car with Miss 2 and Master 6 to drive to Melbourne, but it will be worth it to meet some of the Brown Owls gals, visit Mikes to drop off my first (of a few) Softie for Mirabel, visit Carl and Geniene at Little Salon, have a cold hot chocolate at San Churro, buy lots of lovely wool at Sunspun, visit family, drink cups of tea with Mum, visit lovely friends, and see Places of Note. Mmmm.

Ooooh that pillowcase quilt is gorgeous!
I can scan and email you the bias tape instructions if you need!
