Welcome to finish it up Friday! Thanks for joining me each week for the link up party...I sure appreciate it!
It's been awhile since I made a pillow....and I love, love, LOVE this one! It's made up of 4 shoo fly blocks, quilted with straight lines 1" apart and it has a lovely red and white polka dot envelope backing. Isn't it so happy? I especially love the text in the one square that says, "make a pillow". That couldn't be more perfect! It finishes at about 18" square.
I have more big news to share...this week I was out in Denver filming a Craftsy class! I'm super excited that I get to cross off a BIG goal from this year's list! It was quite a stretch for me (understatement) and I'm so glad/amazed/surprised that I got through the process without a single cold sore! :) I'll be sharing more about the class, the process and the release date as it gets closer. But for now, I'm so glad the prep and filming is DONE! Woo-hoo!
Last week, fabric strike offs. This week, Craftsy. Next week, I need to NAP!!! (That's no joke!) I'm beyond grateful that I have the love and support of my family and friends, because I certainly couldn't do this without them....they are pretty awesome!
Now it's your turn! Please link up your finishes for the week. Thanks for joining me for finish it up Friday!
Oh what a beautiful pillow- and I just love that it will be subliminally messaging you to make some more! It sounds like you have had an amazing week, and if you are getting through this many girls so early in the year it's going to be very exciting to see what you do next!
Congrats on the class, what an awesome opportunity! You definitely earned that nap after the last two Friday finishes! Lol. I love the Shoo Fly blocks, the fabrics are just lovely. :)
Gosh, I work two blocks away from Craftsy headquarters. Had I known you were here, I might have snuck away to ask you to autograph your book!!! :) Congrats on another huge notch in your craft belt!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for going BOLD to film a Craftsy class! A stretch for you, but a true gift to us, who love your work and your style. I can't wait to sign up!
AmandaJean, I'm so proud of you! A Craftsy Class; I love it and can't wait to hear ya and watch/work thru it. You're movin on up girl! See now- 40 is gonna be fabulous:):)
What a great pillow--and that little message is delightful! I haven't had the courage to combine many colors together--stick to lots of blues--but your pillow is so gorgeous. Thanks for the kick in the seat of my pants! And a Craftsy class--whoop! whoop!
