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!

Top o' the mornin' to ya Sheri and what a top rate pillow you've made. I love the fabrics and the paper-pieced shamrocks - it is 'fierce' (Irish slang for brilliant). I also found the pillow really quick to stitch which is great - we can make one for every holiday!
ReplyDeleteperfect for march. I have to tell you--I really like the black and green block.
ReplyDeleteThat's adorable Sheri! What a great idea to use tiny shamrocks in the stripe! I love your pillow and it looks so cute set up with all your Saint Patrick's Day decorating! "Top o' the mornin' to ya!" too! LOL
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pillow and table topper, too! It will be a lucky day when the other blocks turn up...you must tell us when it happens and where they were. lol Then you'll have a pair of charming pillows for March! Well done, Sheri!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Your green choices worked out well, I love how the "stripe" pops with the shamrocks. And all your other St. Patricky projects. Good job, Sheri!
ReplyDeleteThank you all! I was putting away my Valentine decorations today when I pulled out some of the wrappings from the pink bin, what should I find but a packet of my original black and green fabrics and that little pieced shamrock! The luck o' the Irish is with me after all!
ReplyDeleteHorray!!! You will be steps ahead on your next St. Patrick's day project now!
