Something went terribly........

Right!!!
Woohoo!
I only made 4 Swoon blocks with the QAL, so I had to decide what to do with them....
On one I am practicing some dense FMQ to make a wall hanging.
Sooo....I thought I'd make a couple of large pillows...
Well, holy crap, I didn't have to rip out anything at all!!!
I even put in an invisible zipper using this tutorial!  
I am so excited, and I love this huge 24" pillow/cushion!
Want to see some photos??
I knew you did...Ha!

 I actually sewed the zipper a little too close to the teeth, but it still worked...
I love the vintage daisy fabric, but didn't have enough for the whole back, so piecing was the next option...
 It looks very comfy on the sofa as well as in a chair...

 Now I have to dash out a buy a couple more large pillow forms that are on sale at 50% off, and I think the sale may possible end today!
Hope they still have some in stock!

The Bandits are back!!!!!!!

Just when I thought it was safe to leave my sewing room door open....
well, actually, I just forgot to close it!
The midnight bandit(s) strikes again... not actually sure if it's just one of them or a combined attack!
a couple months ago I found this...
 
 
my design board in a heap on the floor. Arrrgh!
Here is the latest vandalism...

 I can't believe those little monsters!!
Don't be fooled by this...
 They are so lucky that they are really cute!!
