We have had this big pillow for years, since Renee first went to college. It used to be covered in a hideous red velour. At some point the pillow shed its cover and has been encased in only its lining for years. Of course we intended to re-cover it but when it hides in the closet for 3 years it is difficult to remember it is on your to-do list. Renee discovered Joel Dewberry’s fabric designs (http://quilthome.com/Joel_Dewberry) last year and has been smitten ever since. She bought Deer Valley with the intent of covering the sad naked pillow. Today while Dave painted Renee sewed this cover.
It took some finagling since she didn’t measure and can never remember how to put in a zipper. The biggest set-back was that she thought she was finished and put the pillow in the case only to find out it was about 8 inches too big on the sides! It was a quick fix and the project was completed by the end of the episode of the Beatles Anthology we were watching.
