Simply Striped Pillow Blog Hop
March 5
Welcome to my first Blog Hop on Susie's Sunroom!
I invited six "super star" quilters to make a pillow "any way you like" from one pattern-
the Simply Striped Accent Pillow Pattern { available on my Craftsy here}!
Today, the fourth day of the blog hop, we'll see the pillow that creative artist, designer and longarm quilter Sheri, of Sunshine In The Attic blog, has made!

| Meet Sheri @ Sunshine In the Attic blog |
From Sheri:
Greetings! Or should I say, "Top o' the mornin' to ya!"
 |
| I'm so happy to be a guest in the Sunroom and have loved making my pillow for the SSPBH! |
When I heard the hop was to be in March, I knew that mine would have a St. Patrick's Day theme.
 |
| I gathered these fabrics and made this paper pieced shamrock. But somehow, somewhere, the black fabrics and the shamrock disappeared and remain lost, despite my best searching efforts! Someday, I hope the mystery will be solved! |
As the date for the hop approached, I had to start over.
 |
I selected these alternative fabrics and once I got the shamrocks paper pieced, it took only an hour to construct the pillow, using Susie's excellent pattern! |
Then I grabbed the bin of St. Pat's decorations for the photo op. and look what I found!
 |
This is the table topper I made last March with Susie and the Across the Pond Quilt Along group! Check out the link for the free pattern and other ATP St. Pat's projects. |
 |
The free paper pieced shamrock pattern is by Jennifer at Sew Hooked. I shrunk it down a bit and left off a lobe on two of them to add variety and save time. |
 |
Susie's pattern is easy to follow, quick, and has a very professional flair to it! The iron on interfacing and fleece add just the right amount of body to the pillow cover. |
 |
I'm so pleased with the envelope closure (my first). It is quick and easy and has a nice finished look. |
Thanks Susie for letting me be a guest and to all of you for visiting me here in the Sunroom!
