Improv pillow

The Christmas/ the holiday fan fare is finally over here at our house. Everyone has gone home and all that is left to do is clean up and look forward to the New Year.

I have been wanting to post about this pillow for a while now. I even posted this instagram picture on December 15 and actually finished the next day.

Trying improv piecing for the first time #quilting

However, getting ready for family coming over for Christmas, got in the way of any blog type posting. It also got in my way of finishing the dress I wanted to make and wear for Christmas. Oh well. I think I always plan to much and then never get anything finished. 

Back to the pillow. I think it turned out super cute. I really like improv piecing. For me improv piecing  felt a little bit liberating and a little bit stressful at the same time. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. For me not having a plan was a bit nerve racking, but it turned out super cute. This was also my first invisible zipper and I really like the way it turned out. It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be.

improv pillow for gramps


The funniest part was when I showed it to my husband and he told me my seams were not straight. I had to inform him that they were all straight just cut at angles and that it was supposed to be that way. I think got an oh that's nice.. I don't think he got it.

This pillow is for gramps' bed.  I also made some matching pillowcase, which I made a tutorial on if you want to make your own customized store bought pillows

All of this was to match his quilt that I made him this summer for his birthday.

I can't wait to see it all on his bed, and see how all of it came together.

I had a problem with my husband a year and six months ago, which lead us apart. When he broke up with me, I was confuse and did not know what to do to get him back, I felt so empty inside. Until i came across Dr Sam on the internet on how He has helped so many people solve there various problem.

Finally I am writing this testimony to offer my thanks and deep gratitude to you Dr Sam for keeping to your words and your promises in bringing him back to me in just 48 hours of your powerful spell casting, and for using your gifted and great powers to bring him back.
