I'm Here!

 Okay... where did the month of October go?

And while we are at it, where has the first part of

November gone?

 

I've been gone here and there during the last month,

but a little has been done in my Hidey Hole.

 

 

My son-in-law asked for new pillows for their couch.

I made them 24" pillows a few years ago

and they have changed their color scheme,

so he would like new pillows.

 These will be a Christmas gift for him. 

I was trying to decide on a pattern to use

and came across a youtube video by Mister Domestic

on fabric weaving.

How fun will this be??

The most frustrating part was trying to get the

bias tape makers to work.

I finally gave up and made the bias ribbon pieces by hand

and then began to weave.

 

 

 

It took a few tries to get the fabric placement to my liking

and once I did that, the weaving went fairly quickly.

 

 

 

 

 

This Wefty tool is a life saver with the weaving.

 

 

 

 

 

A LOT of pins are used to hold everything in place.

It got to be a bit cumbersome, since I am making

a 24" pillow,

but the weaving was done.

 

 

 

 

These colors are pretty true.

Now I need to get this quilted and made into a pillow.

I think  I will quilt it with a spiral.

 

Hopefully this will be done soon!

 

Happy Quilting!
