I do have things for Show and Tell. I dusted off my sewing machine and made some pillowcases this weekend. I've had this fabric that came from here for awhile, and I decided that they wouldn't make themselves, so I'd have to do it. It was a nice way to brush up on my sewing skills as I hope to make a quilt eventually. At least, my unnamed friends think I should. I don't know if I'm up to the task, but pillowcases...I can do.I celebrated another birthday last week, and I received some lovely gifts. The Necessaire box is very special to me as it was made by my friend, Vickie. It has a wonderful verse about little things in life...
Do you see how it's lined? Yes, that is the Jane Tindall Sampler inside. You are so clever, VJ! I couldn't love it any more...thank you.These weren't exactly a birthday gift, but I love them also. My dear friend, Patti knows that I love The Beatles...who doesn't, right? These Beanie Baby Beatles belonged to her Mother. Aren't they the cutest? Each one represents a different musical phase. After some research, I discovered that only 25,000 were made and mine are numbered 11,978 on their tag. I'm hiding them from the grand kids. My favorite has to be the gray one with "I Want To Hold Your Hand " embroidered on it. The backs and bottom of one foot has The Beatles embroidered. Thank you, my friend.

That box is so incredible! And the pillowcases are beautiful!
You already know what I think of your lovelies. You are a lucky Beatle fan. And I love everything you've made and received too. :D
Love, love, love the pillow cases and the box!!! Gorgeous. Fun beanie babies too.
A belated Happy Birthday.
The pillowcases are beautiful. Great job!
And what a wonderful gift the little box is....
Wow, Tanya what a stunning box. It is all the more special as it has Jane Tindall inside which is a very special sampler for you.
Love your pillowcases and I love the material that you made them with and what can I say about your Beatles. They are very cute. - Sandra.
Ok WOW ... WOW!! Love it all.
Tanya
So, now I am singing "I want to hold your hand" in my head... great little bears!!
I think you will find quilting to be easy. Your pillowcases show that you can sew an excellent straight line, which is all you really need in order to quilt ( aside from the cutting skills, which is a whole different subject -LOL). The pillowcases turned out lovely.
Love your new pillowcases. The fabric is amazing. So is the box with the sampler lining.
Lovely pillowcase Tanya, the fabric is fabulous:))
Your box is to die for!! how clever is that indeed! it must be so difficult to get that right:)
Pretty things you've created recently, Tanya! I've said it before and I'll say it again - you are so creative!
Fun to see Beanie Babies! I miss collecting them for my DD>

Happy Belated Birthday. I just love the pillowcases. They really do look stitched. The box is just beautiful and I love that she lined it with Jane. I am a big Beatles fan too.
What beautiful work, Tanya! I just love those pillow cases. I had to laugh at the Beanie Babies. My son just did a mix CD for the car and of course, The Beatles are on there. I can handle that over the Bob Marley!!
Those pillowcases are fabulous! I just love the fabric. Happy belated birthday too. Such wonderful gifts you received.
Great job on the pillowcases! I have some of that fabric as well - love it.
Your b-day gift box is just wonderful, what a sweet thing it is to have friends that care enough to take the time to do something special for you.
Love the Beatles Beanies!
