Heart Pillows

When I first got married (almost 2 1/2 years ago - has it really been that long?), I bought myself a sewing machine. One night in the middle of April I asked Steve to bring me some thread and he brought out the sewing machine instead. Not wanting to let an opportunity go to waste, I opened the box and set it up. The machine came with a book of easy projects. After browsing through it for awhile, I decided on the heart pillow project and away I went!

The first night was a little rough. It was only after a few hours and one one spool of thread that I finally won! I made two tan pillows for me and two red pillows for our mothers in celebration of Mother's Day.

I gave one of the tan pillows away to one of my visiting teachers as she did not want to let go of it! Normally when I show off the fruits of my monthly exploits to my visiting teachers, they give me back the item right away. Well this time, one of the girls hung onto the tan pillow I let her hold. I have sent that pillow to a good home!
