While shopping for fabric to make my Mom a quilt for Christmas (don't tell her its a surprise :)..(I know Christmas is right around the corner again) and I have to get busy sewing many of the gifts I want to make.
Well anyways, I found the same fabric I had used for my first quilt the Double Irish Chain posted about it Here in flannel and thought it would be so warm for winter to make a matching pillow case, so I did. Thank you to YouTube and a wonderful tutorial from Missouri Quilt Co. I was able to make this quick and fun pillow case.
Here is the tutorial I used to make the pillow case. Have fun making the pillow case if you decide to sew one.
I think pillow cases just might be a few gifts all wrapped up under the Christmas tree this year.
Enjoy the tutorial.

I love it. You did such a great job and it is beautiful.
Nice job and what a sweet room. Great color!
Lovely pillowcase with such a pretty quilt!
Thank you for the wonderful link. I've been lost at You Tube looking at all the great tutorials. I do think that the one you selected is very easy to follow. I watched two others and did learn how to do a hidden or French seam, which seems really cool and easy.
Your work is always wonderful, Elizabeth. You have a great color and pattern sense.
Cute! And thank you for the link. I am making master bedroom curtains now and I might want to make some decorative pillow cases to match....
Hugs,

Your quilt and the room look lovely. Your love of your home certainly shows!

Love the pillocase and quilt - and the entire room! That's how I make my pillowcases. Easy peasy!!!
I love the vibrant colors you chose to compliment the more muted tones. It really gives it pop. Well done.

Thank you! I'll have to check that out! I have a pattern for a pillowcase, but maybe your suggestion will work better. Your sweet red and white room is lovely!
This room with those pretty fabrics is too cute. Love the pillowcase and quilt.
What a pretty bedroom and fun tutorial. I am at my daughters house visiting so I won't be posting for a while, not until I get back home anyways. Then I will read your post again and learn how to do this.

Hi Elizabeth! you make everything look so easy, I wish I could sew like you :o) I love the quilt and pillowcases. The pattern and colors are awesome...another post of yours that just makes me smile! Thank you for visiting me! I'm so glad your still enjoying your cupcakes. I have a set to...if they get a little dusty, just take a dry soft bristle brush and dust them off lightly, that's what I use and it works nice. Have a wonderful evening, tell Gary I said Hi! :o) Hugs, Jennifer
How cute to have a matching pillowcase for your quilt. Aren't those just the most fun easy project. I love making them. Glad you found a good tutorial. Great job on the quilt and mathching pillowcase.
Great idea...I made a bed skirt for our bed...some matching pillow cases would be fun too! That room is adorable and the pillow case and quilt are so cute!
So sweet!!! I miss my sewing machine. Hubby has had me helping him outside all summer... sigh. Perhaps I can do a little sewing in the winter months.
Have a lovely one,
Zuzu

♥Ho! for the leaves that eddy down, Crumpled yellow and withered brown, Hither and yonder and up the street And trampled under the passing feet; Swirling, billowing, drifting by, With a whisper soft and a rustling sigh, Starting aloft to windy ways, Telling the coming of bonfire days.

You are just a well of talent barely tapped into. Just lovely!
