February Alpha Table Scraps Challenge

The alpha challenge for February is the letter M and/or V. This challenge is hosted by 

Ive made only one postcard for the challenge this month.

M for Man
But don’t you know, his name is Victor.


The Bloomin’ Minds pattern company calls him Slim.



As usual, I have reduced the pattern to fit a postcard.

Valen”tiny” Pillow

My Guild challenged us to make a Valen”tiny” something just for ourselves.  Any size up to 24”. 

I had a 12” pillow form kicking around forever.  It’s quite old and quite solid.  Time to give it life. 



Anyone that knows me knows that I love collage.  Whether it be with paper or fabric.



Even though it has hearts on it, I tried to keep it on the generic everyday side more than strictly for Valentine’s Day.



It was a fun time putting this together.



After finishing the cover and stuffing the pillow form inside, I looked at it and immediately noticed that I didn’t include a selvedge!!!  How could I, of all people, forgotten to include a selvedge?!

Well, my mind has mostly been elsewhere, so “stuff” happens.
