Lot's of yummy mail and a pillow

As predicted, yesterday I received my package from Drema at Needleworks Corner. Lot's of yummy things! I LOVE Their Song from BBD. I'm planning on starting that one right off. The colors are wonderful. I also received all my Cat's Whiskers kits I ordered. I will have a ton of fun with those. I saw on the cover of the Peacock Chair that it's number one in a series. How fun! And to top it off, today I received the chart for Topiary Ornament I from Jacque. Thanks so much! I'll do that one for next month's ornament SAL.

Today I did my Tie-on Pillow with the class provided by Karen V on the Focus on Finishing website. Bravo Karen! The instructions you provided were clear and concise. I love how my pillow turned out. I used my Flea Market Souvenir from Blackbird Designs on fabric from the quilt that I'm making so it will match my bed.

Last evening I redid my name portion on My Treasured Workstation. It's not as centered as I would have liked but I still happy with the results. And now it looks like two mm's. :-)

It's nice outside again today so I'm not sure if I'll get back to sewing. I had planned on quilting at some point during these few days off I have but I'm finding the pull of the outdoors much too strong. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
