Thank you to both Madame Samm and Linda for pulling this Hop together in the eleventh hour!

I'm sure it has proved, for a few of us, to be very insightful and even difficult to find the words.

* 

I tossed  around quite a few words and in the end decided to go with my word for 2013

" RENEW "

*

*

faith,

hope,

direction,

beliefs,

because we don't get to Re ~ Do our life but we can Re ~ New.

I added my word to the absolutely easiest pillowcase e-v-e-r-, 

courtesy of this video from

Missouri Star Quilt Co.

I've "french seamed" all my pillowcases to give them a high end finish.

*

Do You French?

*

Ooo lala!!! Va Va Voom!

Oui?

*

Get you minds out of the gutter...honestly!

I'm talking about FRENCH SEAMS people!!

Aren't these so neat and tidy? I love to french...my seams! Sheesh!!

Every seam inside this sucker is frenched, no fraying going on here!

I've been antsy today to start and finish s-o-m-e-t-h-i-n-g,

I just wasn't sure what though. Then it hit me,

PILLOWCASES.

I have never sewn one before and I know they're not hard to make,

sew I did! 

I found a 1 meter cut of this sports fabric in my stash that I'd long forgotten about 

and 

voila!

CJ, my soccer player, has a new place to rest his head on tonight.

Try as I might I could not get the proper shade of orange on Photoscape today

my apologies to Marcia's Crafty Sewing & Quilting.

I won this fabric in the fall from her and the colour is a gorgeous, saturated shade that I simply can't capture on my monitor :(

Trust me though it totally rocks with the flames on this pillowcase!

HAPPY STITCHING ;)
