Ahoy there!

Another finish:  two new pillows for the cottage to match the new sofa.


These were a lot of fun to make, and fast -- the ship (I used Thangles, love them!), would have been done even more quickly if I hadn't gotten carried away with the quilting. I couldn't get a good shot of my favorite part -- waves quilted into the "water" under the hull.

And my second favorite part? Piping! Prepackaged from Joann's, there's just enough for and 18" pillow. It makes a world of difference!

Again, these are a result of my avoidance of another project, but I'm not arguing with my productivity at this point -- I'm just clearning my plate to dig in. I hope.

These are great! Love your happy colors!

I certainly understand about that avoidance thing! I'm guilty of that right now too.
