Design Wall Monday 11-12-12

It was pillow case day at Country Piecemakers quilt group. 

We ironed and pinned.

We sewed on our domestic machines.

We used our sergers. Hey, that's me on the far right on my 25 year old serger. 

And when all was done we had 362 pillow cases to donate to Conker Cancer.  Good job ladies. Rumor has it that at least 100 had been made before the event.  Possibly even more.  But, what a great feeling of accomplishment. 

And, what exactly do 362 pillow cases look like? 

All my current projects are either repeats or secret.  So here is Colleen's wonderful quilt made using the Sew Simple Pineapple block.  Notice the stripe fabric ... it goes different ways in the two different rows.  If you go to You Tube and put in Sew Simple Pineapple you can find a video on how to do this block.
