We have company coming for Thanksgiving. DH's brother and his family will be here with us. There are 2 little boys in the family and one of them was born on Thanksgiving. I am planning to bake his favorite cake....applesauce cake....for him to enjoy while they are here. We are going to give him $ and let him select something he would like as a gift. I also decided to make him a pillowcase. I don't want the other little boy to feel left out, so I made him a pillowcase too. I think I will let the birthday boy pick first. Here's what they look like. If you enlarge the photo, you can see that the prints I used are perfect for 2 little boys from TX.
These pillowcases are fun to make and they are nice for gifts. While I was making the 2 for the little guys.....I made one for my niece also. I had made my DD pillowcases from this fabric and I still have enough for another 2 cases.
It felt good to sit and sew! I've been in such a slump lately....not sewing or posting to my blog either.

Pillowcases look so great and will be sure to provide good dreams.

These are a great gift for the kids. I have made some but they didn't have the contrasting fabric on the bottoms. Maybe next time I will take more time and make them a little nicer.
I know what the slump is, been there for so long it feels normal. We just have to do what makes us happy, but it is good to see a post with nice things in it.
Somehow my bloglines stopped updating you. It was good to catch up. I so enjoyed the quilts from the show...the quilting on the hexagons was incredible!
Your licorice and sherbet blocks are amazing!!!!
These are really cute!
