I was talking to
Emma the other day and she called to tell me that she had seen my book! Well, you know it's not my book, but I'm in it! She was at Barnes & Noble and there it was: Dozens of Ways to Repurpose a Pillowcase.
So, I loaded my kids into the car, promising hot chocolate and a cookie if they were good. And I found the book right away, found my pages and saw my name. What a thrill! I wanted to tell everyone in the bookstore :) I ended up just telling the cashier when he noticed that I was buying two copies of the same book.
One copy for me and one copy for a book giveaway!
Just post a comment and I will be sending off this Craft Challenge book to one lucky person. Who I hope has a great pillowcase stash of their own!
And here are some photo's of my own, the one's in the book are a ton better of course!

This one was fun to make using misc widths of cut up pillowcases. The back is also pillowcase fabric. It's like a little tiny quilt!

The
book publisher sent me Martha Stewart pillowcases to use for this project. I also used some Martha Stewart decorative tape that I bought at Michael's and of course in pure Martha spirit, it matched perfectly.
Here are a few pictures of my stash. I think each one is beautiful and precious. They are also in the book. We were asked to share some of our collection. I was kind of afraid to part with some of these! But they took such great photos and did them a wonderful justice, making them look so pretty and prestine!
Well, I am sure you will love the projects in this book. Be sure to leave a comment for your chance to win a free copy of your own! Or head over to the bookstore to pick one up. Have fun sewing!!
p.s. the book giveaway will be going on until February 28. Then I will announce the winner.
