I don’t do a lot of commissions, but there are some requests that I like to take on.
There are different reasons, first being that it’s something that interests me enough to want to do. Then there is having the freedom to do as I please even if certain colors or fabrics are involved.
Kathy has been a long-time reader and supporter of both my blog and Jon’s blog and work with The Army Of Good. So when she sent me a photo of the pillow shams she wanted made into a quilt, I considered it.
I think it took me a few days to get back to her. It sometimes does with me. I know it’s not the way of the internet with all its immediacy, but sometimes I just need time to think, to let an idea settle over me so I can truly know how I feel about it.
So my next quilt will be for Kathy, made from her fabric animal pillow shams. Really, the colors are perfect for this time of year. And the animals are sweet-looking and very nicely made.
I’m looking forward to getting started.
These are charming! I look forward to seeing how the quilt turns out.

Oh, how lovely! This is going to be awesome!! Sleeping under the comfort of animals and their wisdom.
I hadn’t thought of it that way Barb, you’re so right!
Maria I hope that you enjoy working on the quilt and I know with your creative energy the result will be beautiful! Thank you for your effort.
Glad to do it Kathy. I have fabric drying on the line as I write this. It’s a puzzle I’ll enjoy solving.
Sue Silverstein was happy to get the four pillows for some of her students interested in making covers.
Oh I love that Kathy, another connection in all of this. Thanks for sending them to her. That was thoughtful of you.
