So Heather finally got her half of our little swap....
I sent her this pillow.
I was trying to figure out what to send her and then came across this poster in her favs on Flickr. So I emailed Monica and asked if I could use it and this pillow is the result.
The Sweet Hot Yams are a bunch of talented ladies! This was so fun to make and Heather loves it so I'm happy!

Thank you again for all your concern. We were very lucky - just keep praying for the people of Japan and all their families...I cannot even imagine the horror and despair they must be facing.
I finally got caught up on sleep and did some sewing last night and this morning.
Finished up the top for this quilt...
It's pretty big - don't know when I'll get around to quilting it but I really love it.
Hubby was my "holder".
I also made up some little "taggies" today. I've signed up for a craft fair in May and figured I'd better start making things.
These are so fun - and I love all those minky fabrics!
This fabric is one of my all-time favorites - I got mine here.
I also got my gorgeous swap package for Urban Home Goods Swap the other day:
Rachel made me the cutest things - look at this mug rug....
and this pillow is on my bed right now.
I really want to stay home and sew some more but our soccer team has a scrimmage so I'm off to play...

I lost 4 lbs. last week - yeah! Walking every morning (about 5 miles) and on the right eating path - feels great.
And it's amazing - when you exercise some self-control in one area of your life, it's a bit easier to take control of other areas too (like our school schedule, reading my Bible...) - except for laundry - I'll never be able to control that!
Thanks again for the great response on the quilt auction. Tomorrow it will be on its way to Canada.
I got some fun mail today - saw these last week at Fabricworm and had to get some.
The only bummer is the selvedge says "For non-commercial use only". Guess that means they will be for gifts only.
I have to admit that bugs me a little - why would companies make fabric and then tell us how we can and can't use it?! I guess it's because it's a reproduction and there are probably licenses and stuff related to the originals...but still.
And I'm almost finished with my items for the Spicing Up the Kitchen Swap.
(back of table runner)
The potholders are done and I need to sew the binding on this table runner.
Hope my partner will like it!
