I love making quilted pillows. They're like mini quilts. And who doesn't LOVE a quick finish! A friend of mine is moving to a new home and I thought I'd make her a couple of pillows. I've had Jaybird's Hex n More ruler for a while now, and her pillow pattern, Candy Dish to use it with. Perfect! It's been a lot of fun putting this project together, a bit like a puzzle. The pattern directions are very good too. Don't cut off those little 'ears', they help line up the pieces :)
For basting small projects, I've been using Pinmoors. They're like little rubber plugs you stab your pins into. I like to use long pins, it seems to lie flatter that way. And they're easier on my poor fingers than safety pins! These little things get 2 thumbs up from me!
I have never seen those Pinmoors in a store Kim. They look very useful (this from a fellow safety pin hater. . .)and aside from that they are so darn cheery!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see how you use your ruler - hexxies are very intimidating but with good instructions who knows?! The tip on not cutting the little tails is very intriguing!
Those Pinmoors came from Sawyers. They are pretty cheery :)
DeleteYou are going to LOVE this ruler. I brought it Monday to Pam's place and Karen was pretty intrigued. I'll show you next time you're in town.
Yay for awesome notions!!
