Think left and think right and think
low and think high.
Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!

Midnight Snack

   Last week I couldn't sleep because I had this Sewing Idea in my head and it just wouldn't go away, so before I went to bed I sketched it out and colored it all nice and pretty. I was so excited to get started on it the next day that I woke up early and went straight to work.

   The aspect behind this pillow is to create what looks like a weaving of the fabric, I don't know if I accomplished that or not but I sure think it looks cool. This was my second time machine piecing and I still have a lot to learn, but each project brings on new challenges.

   I hope you like it, the fabric are fun and cheery. It isn't finished yet because I need to get a pillow form before I put the border and back on it. I want to make sure it fits a pillow so I don't need to stuff it with fiberfill.




   It took an overall 7 hours to complete, with a small break to make doughnuts for breakfast, then it was back to work. It wouldn't have taken me that long, but I measured wrong and I had to re-cut them.

   I am going to take the dark red fabric and use it as the border to bring everything together.

Hope you like it!
