Coffee Pillows

I decided to make a couple pillows with some of the leftover squares from my Bistro Layer Cake. I got out "Love My Coffee" by Lizzie Kate and "Caffe Latte" by LHN. Bradley (my nine year old) helped me pick out the fabric for both of these! He has a good eye for color.

I also worked on my Sampler Stocking a little bit. I have been working on it exclusively - I really want to get it finished up soon!

    What great pillows! Isn't it fun to have a kid with a good eye for color? My daughter is my goto person -- she definitely has a better eye for color than me.

    The pillows are awesome, and that fabric matches perfectly, how nice is that?! What a coincidence. I am so glad you are trying quilting, I really have loved it. Be careful, it's as addicting at stitching :)
