Birthday Pillow

since moving house several months ago, we've made quite a few friends in our neighbourhood. one of which is Janie. she's awesome. we have some things in common which bring us together to talk often. anyway, it's her birthday today, so i whipped up this cute pillow for her:

i came across this free pattern whilst perusing blogland. i'm a follower of Julie at Jaybird Quilts and was led to Basic Grey where they have this Star Fall Pillow pattern to download for free! :) so i did. and made it in one evening.

the back is a simple envelope closing. easy enough. i love that pink stripe!

i made the label this morning. gotta love personalised labels. :)

i like the look of sewn handwriting. it adds character.

i hope she likes it!

Happy Birthday lovely lady!
