Pods and Pillows

This week has been a bit disjointed for me,

but I did manage to find some time to spend in my Hidey Hole.

 In this disjointed time, I was able to get a couple of smaller things finished.

Yesterday a friend and I went to another friends house and 

she taught us how to make the "Sweetpea Pods".

These little pouches are so cute

and go together so quickly!

Two 10" squares make two of these little pouches

and go together in no time....

once you get the zipper pull back onto the zipper, that is!

 

Mary, my friend who gave us the tutorial,

gave me one for Christmas and it's perfect for

keeping my binding clips stored.

I should have taken a photo of her bowl of pods!

They looked so pretty and festive on her counter.

Last night, while watching March Madness, 

(for which my bracket is already not looking too good!)

I finished the two pillows for my daughter and son-in-law.

They need the forms, but the covers are finished!

The colors in the photos for this pillow are not right.

The background fabric has more green than is showing here.

None the less, I am really happy with this combo of fabrics.

 

These pillows are BIG!

I said in the previous post that they are 24" square,

but they are actually 26" square.

 

The pattern I used was found in a magazine years ago

and I don't have the name or edition number of the magazine.

Prairie points surround the outer borders.

 

I will get the pillow forms and send these to her...

or may hand deliver them myself!

Have a great weekend, everyone

and

Happy Quilting!
