Pillowcases – Group 1

4casesQuilting was interrupted when my printer ink arrived to make pillowcases. Huh?

For these cases we wanted printed labels.

Appliqué

The labels were inserted into the cuff via reverse appliqué. I had the process down to a science by the time I got to the 4th case…which will come in handy when I do the next set of 4 + 1 later this year.

My stash surprised me again. With the exception of the ‘superhero’ fabric, it all came from my stash. The ‘superhero’ fabric was originally in my mom’s stash, then mine, then my sister’s before I reclaimed it last weekend. Now I’m off to trim thread from Out of the Blue so I can wash it and the cases. They all need to be mailed this weekend.

Small Problem

The first pillowcase went together without a hitch (there is no accent band).  It goes with the “forgotten quilt” which I can show in early November. The second case? Well I’ll be ripping the seam out.  Since I integrate the accent fabric into the cuff so it doesn’t roll up after washing, I have to be careful when I sew the cuff to the body fabric.  Clearly I wasn’t paying attention. As soon as I finish the pillowcase, it and the Eeyore quilt go into the wash.
