When Elizabeth saw the baking-related fabric in one of my daily blocks she asked if I had any left. I did and asked her what she would like me to make her. She picked microwave bowls.

For years, every time I dug through a particular drawer for something I came across this bargello work that Mum did. The last time I was digging (for elastic for masks) I pulled it out and decided this was the year it needed to be done.

I save trimmings from a lot of different projects and used them for stuffing the pillow case inside; usually my trimmings go to the SPCA for dog pillows so I didn’t see why it wouldn’t work for a pillow for me. I even used some of Mum’s quilt top pieces as the backing for the pillow.

This looks very nice on my futon upstairs, along with the yarn doll Mum made.
