February was a DrEAMi! Month


February 2020  Finishes 


Last month, I saw a request for testers for this new cushion cover pattern
and 
I just loved everything about it...
Sew I Dropped Everything and Made it!

Activities I Host on the Blog
Drop Everything and Make it! 

I am joining the squirrel linky party

My cushion is featured with all the other lovelies




Even though this unplanned project may have been a set back to completing my 
February OMG Goal, I am still very happy this little squirrel 
distracted me from my plans.  


Wonder if I will be distracted by one of these playful. pesky little critters in March. 

Time will tell ... :-)

My Sweet Lily


My Sweet Lily Cushion is Done!



For this project I found some red and white fabrics from my stash.

The very detailed and well written pattern for this project may be found

As this is a new release, it is on sale now for a short time.


This is the block in my 


Even the 20' pillow is an old one that was in a closet waiting for a new cover.


 I quilted it and made the back Here


I have wanted to make a while lily block for a long time
and I really like the look of this modern take on the traditional block.
The white fabric is a Zen Silky and it has a lovely feel and sheen.
The red prints are leftovers from a red and white quilt.


Here is the back of the pillow with my favorite snap back closure.
This was also made with extra fabric from another project
and pieces form my stash.
The border is fat quarter of a Bonnie and Camille diagonal stripe.
The red solid is Bella Country Red.

The pattern gave good instructions for making an envelope back.
I added my touch with this snap closure.


My quilty kitties and I are really happy with this nice cushy project.  

I really like this pattern and hope to make a four block quilt
in floral and pastel fabrics this spring, which may be soon. 

It has been so warm here that had my south facing windows open the last two days.

Spring is coming!

This is going to be a cushion cover.
Here is the back in progress.
The back of the cushion is my own design.
I love making snap closures on my cushion covers.


Maestro is helping me bind my cushion cover.

It is sunny here today.
I woke to the sweet sounds of a robin calling outside my window.
I love these harbingers of spring.
Usually they do not return until March.


Although it is cold, most of our snow is gone and it feels like winter is losing its grip.

Looking forward to spring!
