I've owned my quilt shop since 1990, specializing in antique reproduction fabrics. Made my first quilt in 1976 which greatly reduced my sewing of clothing! Would like to find more time to SEW.......maybe when I retire? Am married to a farmer, have 3 children and 4 grandchildren who are the light of my life!!! And now there are 3 great-grandchildren and another due in January 2019!

PATRIOTIC PILLOWCASE FOR JENI
I made a shop sample pillowcase using an end of Jo Morton's banner fabric. Then I made another to send to soldier granddaughter, Jeni. Now, DGD would like me to make 7 more for Christmas gifts for her unit! Oh what we Grandmothers get ourselves into!! Looks nicer now that Suzanne rotated it vertically for me!
Cyndi, yes grandmothers are pushovers aren't they. I think your little quilt is darling and when you get it finished it will be just as special as the ebay quilt. The pillowcase is very nice also, I can see why your GD thought the others would like one.
