I took the class in 1999. Most people didn&#8217;t piece their pillows, but since I was enamored with quiltmaking I decided to piece my pillows. We learned to do piping and the striped piping on the pillow above was already done when I took the pieces out of the bag on the weekend. I had to sew one seam and I was done. It is pathetic that I let this project languish for so long.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I was kind of surprised that I took the class in 1999, because I thought for sure I had taken it when I lived closer, but the dates are in my handwriting on the folder. Very strange.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8891\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8891\" style=\"width: 293px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/PICT9103sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8891\" title=\"Simply Pillows Class Project #2\" src=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/PICT9103sm-293x300.jpg\" alt=\"Simply Pillows Class Project #2\" width=\"293\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/PICT9103sm-293x300.jpg 293w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/PICT9103sm-1000x1024.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/PICT9103sm.jpg 1764w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 293px) 85vw, 293px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8891\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Simply Pillows Class Project #2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The hourglass pillow did not finish as intended.
