. . . make pillowcases!
Seriously, who could resist the lure of this beautiful lemon print from Art Gallery Fabrics? I spotted it at cool cottons, a delightful quilt shop in my own neighborhood, and quickly transformed it into a pair of pillowcases for the Portland White House.
Turns out one of the fabrics I bought recently from Jill Finley’s new line “This and That” for Penny Rose Fabrics is the perfect shade of yellow for the band. I auditioned all of the yellows in my stash and this one was by far the best fit.
I have a thing about lemons. Not just fresh lemons, which are always on hand at our house. I also like lemons as a decorating theme, and so do my sisters Diane and Reigh. When I bought the fabric for these pillowcases, I bought enough to make each of them a pair as well. Their pillowcases are in transit right now. I’m not sure which they will see first — their package in the mail or this post. Either way it should be a fun little surprise.
Just call us the Lemon Sisters.
P.S. These cases were made using the roll-it-up or burrito method, with all seams enclosed. If you’d like to see how I make them, check out my tutorial here.
These are so fresh and fun!! What a great lemon print! Makes my mouth water!! I love your pillowcases!!
What??? I have pillow cases in transit?? Oh, Nubs, you are the best. Lemon sisters to the end!!!
Did you make all three sets identical? I am always surprised at how quickly a pillowcase can be made. Love the Spring look of these. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, identical except for size. My cases are standard; theirs are king.
Oh my! I’m so excited – these are wonderful! Dawn’s pillowcases are the BEST, and the only ones we use. You are so good to us!
I love your lemon pillowcases. I am waiting for some more fabric in the mail to be able to make my pillowcases to match a sheet set for my granddaughter. I am also going to use the burrito technique to make my pillowcases. I’m using Michael Miller, “Magic” by Sarah Jane in the “You are Magic” and “Lucky Stars.” So cute!
