Crafts

So far this Summer has been an insanely Crafty one for me! I have completed 5 projects, and I still have a few family requests to satisfy! I'm pretty sure I have advanced from a Beginner to an Intermediate Level :) I have learned so much in the past month! I can't wait to learn more :)

16 Square Pillow 

My Brother has a pillow which he has had since he was a baby (now 14 yrs old), and every so often he has our Grandma cover the pillow with a new layer of fabric. This time he asked me to cover it for him, and he requested that I use the fabric from the Messenger Bag (apparently he loves it too!). So, I came up with this design :)

I decided to add a frame to the patchwork to give it a more finished look :)
