Blue, Rose or Pillowcase

Here are the pillowcases so far...or the therapy cases...Voila..the kitties...actually, it is Hello Kitty's boyfriend..Did you know that....no question mark...or maybe no question!
 "Frozen" for Lynsey and I am going to put it on her pillow tonight.
 Owls...who couldn't like this..
 and doggies..
 Last night I was beside myself with my stupidity at making the cat pillowcase wrong again. 
Then I saw this advertisement. ( pillowcase tutorial )
Why in the world would the magazine print a wrong pillowcase...no question mark...So then I said, "chill, Diane"...just chill...over the right and wrong way of pillowcases...I mean, really.....Do you not have other priorities....
.( Does anyone has a question mark key for my Compaq keyboard)
I am nuts!  When I read this just now,  Barbara Brackman's post...
my heart started beating and I got the itch to make more quilts. Then I got anxiety because I am old and I just may not make ...eg,..start..eg..finish as many quilts that I am desperate to make...
Then ...well...just then...What is a quilter to do....
My dear man is sleeping in the room right next to my sewing room.  When I open the French doors, we are together...each of us on our own journey..but together..for now.  There is some comfort in that!!

Tonight I cannot sew or think.  Himself is now connected to his Trilogy breathing machine looking like he is in outer space. I think I can carry on...but not sure if I can keep calm and carry on...
His family has now gone back to Ireland, promising to come again.
It is just so hard to grasp that I am only in charge of myself and my own journey.  I hate being powerless.

Making pillow cases and giving them away. I am way past the blue or rose periods...gone right straight into the pillowcase period.

Just bought some Viking and sea monster fabric for pillowcases for my heavy metal son. Your pillowcase making has inspired me!

I think a pillowcase period is great, who wants to be limited by a colour when you can use those fun novelty prints.

I love the pillow cases, it is not such a usual thing here in the U.K. To have unique pillow cases, perhaps I should make some for my grandsons. The are too young to have pillows yet but I could be prepared for their new bunk beds.
Hugs

Lovely pillow cases! I'm glad that your hubby is right next to your sewing room. Thinking of you as usual, much love!

Bless him & his machines & you & funky pillowcase directions & your connection through the French doors.
And here is to living a life without questions.

The sideways pillowcases have made me chuckle, you can certainly say you were following the pattern in the magazine (with their sideways one!!). I'm glad that your family in Ireland have been over for a visit, it must be quite a long flight to get over to the USA!

I'm working on a crocheted baby blanket, the colours are a dream, but the wool is a bit scratchy, you can;t seem to get the softest yarn and the best colours, it's either one or the other!! x
