We were making their bed today when the oldest asked if I would make her a new pillow case for her pillow & right away she found some fabric in my stash she liked, but instead of me making it, I helped her to make it and for the first time, she did a great job.

As you can tell, she used both hands to guide the fabric and went slow, but she was very nervous about back stitching, so I did that for her.

The end result and you can't see it here very well was a blue striped pillow case with cream striped trim at the opening. I did the trim, but she ironed the hem for it.

Not happy with just one case, she asked me to make another one, so back to my stash pile and she pulled out this peace sign red, white and blue fabric and without her knowledge, I trimmed it with a lace Santa trim and she thought it was so cool!

So today, was a productive day. The house was cleaned for the first time in weeks, I made several pillow cases and now am getting ready to make 2 fresh pineapple cream pies for our church pie auction tomorrow! Yummy! I hope you day today was as blessed as ours was and as creative!
