Jamie asked me to post a picture of my other little job. Making these pillow cases. I make them for a company called Blessing Pillows http://www.blessingpillow.com/store/Default.asp it's a group of local gals that started the company that makes personalized pillows with a poem for people. You can order anything you like and they'll fill it and send you a cute pillow and poem written just for you ! They got a contract with a local hospital for 4,000 of the travel size to go out to each of the newborns, so a couple years a go that is how I hooked up with them as they always came in to the quilt shop to look for fabric and they needed seamstresses. It's been a great run but I can see the contract ending with the hospital because of economy issues so we've been off again and on again all year. So until spring I'm still sewing 50 of them a month. So this is what they look like when they are done, most of the time they are in piles EVERYWHERE, from being cut to pinning to pressing and sewing, and eventually they become this pile of 50 ready to deliver. It's a neat company tho if you ever need a personalized gift for someone for a special occasion.

Hey, I'm glad to see those little pillowcases after hearing about them for a long time! Very nice project; too bad the funding might be cut.
