Two Small Projects

I wanted to try the 60 degree ruler so I dug out the leftovers from my Starry Nights quilt and made this table runner. It was very easy.



My niece Maya will be celebrating her eighth birthday next week so I used some more leftover Swanky to make her a name pillow. I hope she likes it.

Hi Mary,

When I saw these the other day I meant to leave you a note how cute the pillow is. Today was looking at The Sampler (Chanhassen) blog and saw someone elses version of the quilt on your blog header... I like yours much better but I thought I would tell you if you wanted to see it in a different colorway.
