Steph in her new apartment

Steph liked her quilt and pillowcases. Here she is in her new apartment...

Steph's Graduation Quilt and Pillowcases

Ok, I couldn't stand it. I could not give her the quilt without making pillowcases to go with it...I couldn't find the background fabric to match but I went into my stash and found some that would do...I even pulled the fabric for the band of the pillowcase out of my stash. I didn't buy anything extra for this project. Here's the pic of the pillowcases I made. There is a pillowcase pattern in my tutorials and the pictures are pretty good on this site. I deviate from the pattern in that I do french seams. I'll explain that at another time. This is an easy and quick pillowcase pattern. I make pillowcases with every quilt I give away, even baby quilts. I make baby pillowcases to go with the baby quilts, regular sized pillowcases with all other quilts except Queen Size and King Size quilts, I make King Size pillowcases to go with them. You can make a pillowcase in about 30 minutes. Very quick and easy...Ok, I'll be quiet, til next time....

Steph's Graduation Quilt

Here's Stephanie's Graduation quilt, quilted, bound and with a label. Steph just moved into her new apartment today and I'm going over there tomorrow to give her her quilt....See, I waited just long enough so she would not use it to wrap her furniture in for moving! Anyway, here's a pic and I hope she likes it. I was going to make pillowcases to match but not enough fabric and the two quilt shops I went to were sold out of the fabric too. I saw a label by another blogger and used it as a guide for my label. I hope the Gypsy quilter doesn't mind me doing this but I really liked her idea of care instructions as well as advice...til next time.

Stephanie's Graduation Quilt

Not a great picture but here is Stephanie's Graduation Quilt. Just finished putting the borders on it and now it is off to the quilter's. Judy is doing a rush job for me so I can have it this next week to put the binding on. Steph graduates next Saturday. Nothing like waiting til the last minute, huh? I'll put the finished picture on when I give it to her...

I have to say thank you to Saska for putting it on her blog. I saw this and just knew it was the right pattern for Steph...thank you so much Saska for your help on this pattern. Saska's blog is this one and she has some great ideas: http://oklacookiemaker.blogspot.com/2008/04/many-many-hearts.html
