This is a gimme. Very easy fabric to choose and I am pretty sure the YM will like it.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Valentine’s College Pillowcase<\/figcaption><\/figure> Valentine\u2019s College Pillowcase<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n I really wanted to send him a Valentine\u2019s themed package, so I made a Valentine\u2019s pillowcase and will send it off towards the end of the month. I think the grey (Julie\u2019s suggestion) makes it not too sweet. The color is heading towards pinky red. The original theme below will have to carry over to another month or end up as a gift for one of the nephews.<\/p>\n

- Theme: St. Patrick\u2019s Day?<\/li>\n

I was lazy and too cheap to buy St. Patrick’s Day fabric, so he didn’t get a pillowcase in March. It’s an opportunity for next year.<\/p>\n
April<\/strong><\/p>\n
I ended up sending him a Viewmaster pillowcase that I had made from Cotton and Steel fabrics with his Easter box. The Easter fabrics were all too sweet, pastel and cutesy.<\/p>\n
I still have the Angry Birds fabric. I’ll have to see what I do with that. It could end up as a donation quilt. The YM didn’t seem very excited about the motif, so that might be the best use.<\/p>\n
While I may not do an official pillowcase tally again, since I have no plans for making more pillowcases, I have some ideas for pillowcases as gifts and will show you those. I am particularly interested in making pillowcases for a couple of the YM’s friends and for two of my nephews. I went and visited the nephews and they have their Christmas pillowcases on their bed. That is a sure sign they could use more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Well, my big plans for pillowcases almost fell apart, but not quite. I sent one last care package and snuck in the last pillowcase. What I didn’t do well was report on my progress.
