First I'll show you the 2nd pillow I finished in Karen Ruane's class Pillows and Pages. I'm leaning towards fun pillows as you can tell if you saw the one I posted last week....and I've been having fun creating them. I've always loved cows and am using up fabric in my stash so that's the theme of this one...I have an idea of who will receive this one sometime in the future. It measures 11" x 8".

| lots of soft bumpy places for pins and needles and hooks and an eye for loose threads. you can see the reflection of the pillow edge in the iron. |
 |
| the back has a rooster that was the edge of a vintage hanky, some prairie points and a loop for hanging. |
and now the hexagons from circles....this is so fast and easy and I'm loving the back with all the little pockets. Here's a
link with a tutorial, if you want to try it.
I just used some fabric scraps to try it out....

| they turn out perfectly and it takes just a couple of minutes to make each one |
The surprise for me was that the back has tiny little triangular pockets. I will definitely be highlighting the back on my next project....I'll show you that next time.
 |
| there are 29 little triangular pockets |
...and I'll leave you with this wonderful video. It's just 3 minutes long and very worth watching.
The link is
here. Enjoy it and have a great week.
