I made these two pillows for my mom for Mother’s Day.  They will go with her General’s Wives Quilt when it eventually gets done!

I used this tutorial by Jamie at SunFlower Seeds to make the cathedral window pillow.  It was very easy to follow and was quick to do on my machine.  I need a little practice on my middles.  They were a little messy, so I put matching buttons in the middles.  They were buttons that belonged to my great grandma.

With the left over charms, I made a quick flying geese pillow.  It went together really quickly and looks great with the other pillow.

I also finished a couple of 241 tote bags by Noodlehead.  I love all of her patterns and have made this one tons of times!  I used some of the new Denyse Schmidt line from JoAnns to make one for myself.

The other one I made from some Denyse Schmidt that I have been holding on to for a while.  I just love the prints and colors in this fabric.  I decided to send this one to my sister-in-law.  The mother of the two cutest boys around!  I hope she likes it and will be able to use it!

I’ve almost reached my goal on my fundraising page!  I have the best friends and family!  It really means so much to me.  There is still time to make a donation to win this quilt.  Just follow the link above to make a donation for a chance to win.  The drawing will be held on June 1st.  Thank you so much to those who have already donated!
