From This To That

LynMarie At That Other Blog

I collected my fabrics and searched for clues, inspiration...

to make the perfect project...

...finally it came to me...

...I needed a pillow and a quilt for my car.

so I decided to make

a quilt in a pillow called a quillow.

I started with 1-1/2 yards of the dot fabric for the front...
 and 1-1/2 yards of blue scene fabric for the back.
I quilted it as a whole cloth quilt and added the binding.
I centered a 15" x 15" quilted square to the back of the quilt
by sewing the sides and across the top of the square, 
leaving the bottom open to create a pocket.

2 pictures of the back of the quilt

Here it is stuffed in it's pocket.

I love how it turned out and it will be a great pillow for my car.
I can use it as a pillow, a quilt...and it will even be great as a picnic blanket.

I hope you have enjoyed my Nancy Drew project.

Thanks for visiting today.

I have a giveaway on my previous post.

My Day is March 14.
My one project is finished, yes just one project....just need a few photos.
I will be scheduling my post before I leave on vacation.

I have been knitting....
3 more frilly scarves finished in February

...I have been embroidering...

This is Bird Brain Designs Santa Quartet pattern.

I stitched it in 10 days from start to finish...a few late nights!!

...I finished piecing the Red White and Blue Great Granny Square Quilt.

It's even quilted and bound.

It will be donated to the Ann Arbor Veteran's Hospital.

I did a demo of the great granny square at our January quilt meeting.

Yes. I've definitely been keeping busy...I even managed to bind 

a queen bed size flannel quilt....a beast of a quilt, but beautiful.

Sorry no picture...it is for a cancer charity auction.

A co-worker of Mama Sparks made the quilt.

I was playing with lots of fabric at CrazyQuiltGirl Fabric Shop last week

Corina has 6 bolts of Happy Town fabric in stock

and is expecting 2 more bolts by Monday

Henry Glass Fabrics is sponsoring a contest using the Happy Town fabric 

designed by Jacquelynne Steves.
First prize is $500.00, second prize is $250.00
All royalties from this fabric are donated to Quilts for Kids.

Starting Monday I will be working on Quilts for Kids quilts...
I have a few ideas for some lap size quilts and am anxious to get started.

I'll be working on my stitchery project for the Stitch Me Up Blog Hop too.
That will keep me busy for the month of March.

Happy stitching
