progress on the pillows

the embroidery is finished for the first pillow. It will be a fourteen inch square. I just need to make it into a removable pillow case for the form so it can be washed easily. It has been washed once but not pressed at this point. The second pillow top is moving along nicely. Photos later.
As for the baby quilt..it is basted and the major in the ditch stitching is done. Nothing fancy going on with the quilting for this one. I will take pictures when I get to the binding. Hopefully sometime before Christmas....Where does the time GO??

Where does the time go? I'd say it went into laying all those long and short stitches in the pillow covers that are beautifully done.

It is beautiful. The density of the stitches is astounding!

Wow Karen, this is gorgeous! Is this machine stitched, or hand stitched? Either way it is beautiful. Hope you can make deadline.

Thank you all.
Katie, it is hand stitched. Thankfully there is no actual deadline. But I dont want to make my mother wait too long for it!
