Three-Seam Pillowcases

     I've had fun making these.  I had bought all of this fabric on sale at Walmart several years ago.  I was planning on being earth-concious and making draw-string bags for Christmas Gifts instead of using wrapping paper.  Well, that time has come and went several times over.  Then I ran across a blog posting showing how to make three-seam pillowcases.  So cool, so easy, and it used up all of the fabric and now I have eight pillowcases to donate. 
     But, the possibilities are endless.  Instead of using a small border between the body and the edging, what about a piece of lace?  Or silk for the edging? Or . . .!?
     So, off I go to attack another pile of UFO's and make a dent.  I'm on a roll and having fun and getting lots of sewing done.
     Spring is trying to arrive here but it is having to claw it's way here.  We've been in the low 40's here and there by the afternoon, but yesterday we got a couple of inches of snow.  The highway was treacherous this morning and slow-going.  Still lots of snow in the yard so we are weeks away from outside spring cleaning.
     State conference is over for another year.  All of the students were so helpful and understanding again this year and the adivisor stepped up to the plate and the public served as judges.  Thanks to all.  Computers were my nemesis this time.  Sometimes I do with for the days of typewriters.  My students did really well and one will be traveling to D.C. with me next month.  It should be exciting, especially since our opening ceremonies will be on the Mall in front of the Washington Monument.  How lovely spring in D.C. should be.  I'm really looking forward to 60's and 70's. 
     Well, off I go.
