Olivia's Pillow Cover

On a recent shop hop I purchased 5" charm pack for my great-granddaughter, Olivia for her birthday, with a promise that we would have a day when she could come quilt. Today was the day and she arrived at 8:30am . I gave her a choice of making something she could take home today or start a quilt. She opted to do a 16x18" pillow cover. She did the sewing of the squares and borders and I finished the back. We also made a pillow for it to fit into to. She loves to sew and has done some things by hand and also came with a cut out skirt. She used one of her skirts to cut a pattern from. It is to be worn as a costume at her 4 year old sisters birthday party. She is a talented young lady and has a real gift of the choices that we had to make with lay-out, special stitching and thread color. She is on her way as a quilter and has signed up for the special class for her age group at the Maine Quilt Show in Augusta July 24-26. What a joy this brings to my heart. It was a fun day for both of us.
