More Pillowcases and New Friends

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

Last week, we mentioned custom pillowcases as one thoughtful, personal gift you still have time to make for someone special, this year.

Today we were visited by Romy and Angelica Scott of San Francisco. They brought with them a number of lovely pillowcases they’d made as gifts for a range of personalities.

They came to New Pieces for our fabric selection and were specifically interested in finding “pirate” fabrics for a little boy.  We were happy to be able to help, and we asked them for permission to show you their project.

By the way — in chatting with the Scotts, we also discovered that they’d come from volunteering this morning at St. Anthony’s. What a full and lovely day they had!

New Pieces’ customers are the best!

‘Tis The Season – For (Handmade) Giving!!!

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

And we’re all trying to find the perfect gift.

Handmade gifts are a favorite of mine!

When I don’t have time to make a quilt, the next best thing is a perfect, personal pillowcase.

I just finished two “penguin” pillowcases for my grandsons, and two more beautiful blue ones, in a Japanese floral, for my mother-in-law.  She’ll love the sateen!

The 4 pillowcases took me no more than 3 hours to make, total.

Last year my grandsons got pirate pillowcases and put all their toys inside. They left with their pillowcases thrown over their shoulders like Santa Claus. Soooo cute!

At New Pieces, we have loads of fabrics you can put together for a perfect, personalized pillowcase for someone special.  Come in visit, and we’ll help you coordinate your fabrics.

We can even show you how to make the pillowcases. What could be easier?
