It looks like I may actually get to teach a beginners quilting class this Fall, at a local friend's shop!
We decided a simple patchwork pillow cover would make the perfect, finishable starter project!
I have plenty of time, but I had to jump right in and "try it on"!
And because this shop owner is also a sweet friend and encourager, I made her a pillow, from a glimpse I got from her Pinterest board while we were planning.
I feel wonderfully sneaky!
I get to surprise her with it today!
She is also a big fan of gingham! (Be still my heart!)
I need more Valdani colors! I would have gone around each star, but this was the only color I have that matched! I will have to pay a visit to Sunny Day Supply!
Such an easy wonky block, and sew fun!
I have to add a few gratuitous flower shots...their colors make me glad, daily!
And some sweets from my friend Terri!
Linking with Beth@CookingUpQuilts for Main Crush Monday, because all this goodness!!!
ps. When I figure out how to add links from my iPad! Help welcome!

Such a sweet pillow for your friend - she'll be so surprised. Beautiful flower photos.
Your pillow is darling -- that should be a great beginner class. I really like the pronounced but simple hand quilting stitches in contrasting thread. What kind of thread did you use for that?
I love your pillow Sarah and think you will make a fabulous teacher!!!!!
Yep, both are very cool pillows! I especially love the last one! I never could use my iPad for writing blog posts. It's pretty old, maybe the newer ones are better at that! Hope you can figure it out!
I love those wonky stars so much!!
I love your gorgeous pillow! The hand stitching just sets it off! Aren't pillows for gifts great gifts!!

Looks like things are moving along well for you Sarah after relocating again, always a relief to settle in well. The pillow is beautiful and no doubt was well received. I especially like the hand quilting.
That is such a pretty pillow... Love the hand quilting. Congratulations on the news you will be teaching a class! How exciting!
Beautiful! The design is beautiful and I love the hand quilting.
