Crafted Cushion Cover Swap Gallery (SO Mar12)

[TheManicCrafter]

This is totally a guess on my part but I'm thinking it's a tree and it's being held sideways.  The right hand side looks like the trunk and the left side the tree top.

hahaha!  It is a tree huh?  I've been looking at it for days and didn't realize  (yeah I'm really that much of a flake) They are regular printed panels, I still have to stuff them but that's the tidbit I forgot at the craft store today and I've only got enough for 1 here because I had a bag of fill disappear.

The heart pillow cover is so full of different textures!  I love the shiny blue against the rougher white background...and ruffles are fabulous!

I just went through the whole gallery to get a feel for the "tone" of this swap.
(and to make sure I don't accidentally do something similar for fiddlegirl8  )

Every pillow is so great!
Such clever company this swap keeps.
(Did I just channel Yoda in that last sentence?)

With two little ones all day, and all the other things you do, how in the world do you stay so clever and sassy?!!!  You amaze me - you won't accidentally do anything similar - of that, I am sure!  You and Yoda - smart little creatures*, both of you!!  Sooooo happy you're my ANGEL!     PS - have you checked into Mad Men now it's started a new season?!  I have - yummy!!  That Don, gotta love that man!  Zooby zooby zoo!  

*creatures in a good, friendly and intelligent way!

I have had that Mad Men song in my head now for way too long. I LOVE IT!

I will gladly take on the title of smart little creature-I should make a badge to wear w/ Yoda's picture on it. Also, I'm the shortest adult in the family so it fits there too!

But in crafty news...
I got the cushion done for Ms. Fiddlegirl8!
It's been mailed and is on it's way.
HOORAY!

ME TOO - the shortest one in MY family!  And, you are really fast with the crafting!  Cannot wait to receive it!!
Thanks for being my angel, silentblair!  YOU ROCK!

I received my angel package from my ANGEL - Silentblair!!  She did an absolutely awesome job, and even avoided the cushion cover being robbed from her before she sent it to me!

Here he is - a SQUIRREL!   Hand drawn by Blair - It's ART on a pillow!!  Plus the two little acorns dangling from the upper right corner - crocheted acorns!!  


Look at this detail:


Since I had to wait (Blair made and sent this to me within a WEEK of signing up to be my angel!!), and because we've been partners before, she sent a cute card, and the embellishment of the crocheted acorns - and she wrapped it all up in a pretty piece of white-on-white fabric, disguised as wrapping paper, of course - BLAIR YOU ROCK!  

Please, please don't hold it against her, organizers!  She's a GREAT ANGEL!  

Thank you silentblair - you certainly did a wonderful job for me! (AS IS USUAL FOR YOU!!!)  AND, this cushion cover is really sweet with the birds on a branch cushion cover that my other partner, indigo_roses, sent me - the pillows are perfect together!!

Thank you thank you - you did a beautiful job on this cushion cover!

I LOVE this! Is soo cute, and the acorns are a sweet addition!

[silentblair]

I loved the squirrel's expression. He looks like perhaps he's been caught doing something he shouldn't!
I am addicted to fabric markers and in my search for a better fabric marker than the one I currently have I found my new love....

A gel ballpoint fabric marker!

I can get super crisp lines now!

I'm so happy you liked the cover, fiddlegirl8. I was sneaky and tried to make one to compliment your wonderful bird cover indigo_roses (who is my parter for round 2 YAY!) made for you.

Hooray for squirrels!
