The Romance of the Patchwork Quilt

Today's work in progress. #sewingspace #sewing #handmadechristmas
Good morning! One of my favorite parts of my day is waking up early and planning my day in peace in my beautiful #52listsplanner @mooreaseal .
For years I've been using free printables off of Pinterest, but when I found this planner, it put an end to all those printouts and the stress of printing them out each week. It's really a time saver. And the great thing is you can start using it any time, I started mine at the beginning of the school year.
Check it out if you're looking for a new planner. I have a blog post on it on my website ( See profile or go to www.homesweetdreaming.com )
So I'm pretty proud of myself, getting one more pillow, for my Christmas pillow adventure done before 11.00 a.m. ( along side mummying and my normal chores). But it's only a drop in the bucket still having a minimum of 3 more, but ideally 5 more to go.
I absolutely adore the fabric, which I unfortunately found out is a few years old, and no longer available. I bought it at a textile fair, from a store in Germany that doesn't have an online shop.
It's Nordic Stitches by Wenche Wolff Hatling of Northern Quilts for @modafabrics
I used an easy to follow you tube video tutorial by @mygirlfriendsquiltshoppe :
How to make an envelope pillow.
As there's no official christmas colors, I'll probably be using them till Spring. Lucky though they seem to go enough with the quilt that needs to be re-hung behind the sofa.
I must mention, as the fabric is quilting cotton, it wasn't as easy to finish them without a few wrinkles. I assume heavier decorating fabric wouldn't have that issue. This despite all the pressing pre pillow stuffing.
