Adventures of a Novelty Fabric and Selvage Obsessed Quilter

Glad you stopped by!

I am a busy wife and the mom of 19 year old twins, a boy and a girl who are Sophomores at Syracuse University.

I have been quilting since the spring of 2008. I love novelty fabrics, colorful and unique.

Selvage quilting is addictive! Who knew the "junk" we cut off and threw out would be what I now save! I started a new tradition when I travel--visiting quilt stores! I particularly enjoy going to stores that have been named in the Quilt Sampler Featured Shop Lists-

Coby's pillowcase!

The finished pillowcase!

full pillowcase:
Ever since I read about the
 million pillowcase challenge
I have wanted to make some.

I wanted to make one as a trial before I donated any.

I was at a local fabric store and saw this fabric,
which shows basic sign language words and pictures.
I immediately thought of Coby,
a friend's son who is on the autistic spectrum,
and uses signing to help him communicate.
He is a delightful child, with an absolutely
fantastic personality, as well as an infectious smile.
He underwent successful open heart
surgery as an infant, and this week
marked the fourth anniversaryof his operation.

My friend and fellow quilter Doris sent me this link
Pillowcase demo video
and it was terrific.

Have you made any pillowcases yet??
