Whipped up a couple of pillowcases!
One person loves sushi
and the other is for my daughter.
So...side story.
I told my daughter this
fabric's name is Bento Box.
She replied, "I thought Bento Box
was the name
of a quilt block?"
"?? No...not exactly."
We made "modified Bento Box"
quilt blocks one year at a retreat.
Who knew she was paying attention to that!
She wants to make a quilt for her
dorm room for this fall,
just trying to decide what fabric.
So I made this Noteworthy pillowcase
to try it out.
Made this from my favorite
I think the fabric is
really fun.
I've just seen a lot of colorless dorm rooms
and would want more color in the bedding.??
She has said,
she does not want shrimp on her quilt,
so this fabric's out. :(
What do you think of this
in a dorm room?
I love handmade pillowcases. I did some for a children's heart hospital and I received a lovely note and even the head heart surgeon wrote a thank you.
ReplyDeleteShe's crazy to not want those adorable!!! shrimp decorating a drab dorm room!
ReplyDeleteWhile the shrimp is cute... love the Noteworthy one. That is my choice. I love making pillowcases. My daughter (and myself/husband) have quite a collection of pillowcases I've made. I would like to make some Noteworthy ones.
ReplyDeleteHmmm....yeah, I would want a bit more punch. As long as the quilt has a little more vibrancy?? You know, to match her bubbly personality!!! Love you Lizzie!!!
ReplyDeleteHa Ha! I think I would dream of eating shrimp if I had that pillowcase! They are both cute!
ReplyDeletePerfect for a dorm room..I know she'll love it..I make pillowcases for our kids cancer hospital here, love doing it, and hope it brings them a little joy..love your blog..

I love the colors in your bento box. I agree - let the room be fun but also reflect who she is!
ReplyDeleteMaybe your daughters right, the shrimp might smell after a couple of days. Better to have candy pillowcases. Cite pillowcases.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd like shrimp on my bed either. There are some sweet blues, greens, and orange in the Noteworthy that could be accents!
ReplyDeleteI am of the same mind. Use this fabric accompanied by bright accents. You get it both ways!
DeleteBoth pillows are very sweet!! I know that my son would love the Bento box pillow - too cute!!
ReplyDeleteSweet pillow cases ... I do favor the Noteworthy though and they do make it in a brighter set of colors too, though that'd mean you'd have to make another, eh?
ReplyDeleteToo cute -- although, shocked that someone wouldn't want shrimp on their pillowcase LOL. LOVE LOVE that noteworthy fabric!
ReplyDeleteI think they are both so cute
ReplyDeleteI love making these pillowcases. That sushi fabric is so cute. I need to get some! And the shrimp fabric...oh my!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute pillowcases! I spotted that Bento Box fabric a few days ago and it has been calling my name! I've got to get some....yes, indeed!
