Christmas Through The Year

I got to do a little sewing the other day for my entry in Darlene and Cheryl's Christmas Through The Year Club. 
Here is the next pillow form that will be given to my DIL and son for Christmas this year. Very 70's! I was able to make this one in an afternoon. I got the pattern from Moda Bakeshop. The pillow was designed by Jera. A tutorial is also on her blog.
Remember this is the rug from the kids house that I am using for my inspiration. The next pillow is going to have some embroidery on it.

While I was busy working in the garden two giveaways arrived at my house. Yay! Take a close look at the book. There are two pillows that I could make for the kids. This giveaway came from The quiltbarn.
Thanks, Tara!
During the Blog Hop Party which was going on during St. Patrick's Day I won some cute little handmade bunny buttons from Buttonmad. If you like handmade buttons you should go and check their blog and website. WOW! thanks Tamara!
With Passion,
Carrie P.

I really like this pillow, Carrie! It coordinates so nicely, but totally avoids being matchy-matchy. Awesome! Truly, they are going to have an awesome collection of pillows!

You really are coming up with brilliant pillow designs to go with that rug, and definitely very 70's, chuckle. Lucky, lucky you.
