For Me!?!

I got back from my little visit to OR on Monday, and this was waiting in the mail for me!

pillow talk pillow received!

I had mentioned in my little Pillow Talk Swap information email that I was working on a couch quilt in French General.

Holly, from Binkwaffle, made me the most gorgeous pillow to go with it!

made for each other

I almost cried when I opened it... it is so special to have someone you've never met go to so much work making something so gorgeous and special, and just for me. ;)

yep.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

gorgeous pillow talk pillow

The back is pretty too.

It made my stomach hurt I was laughing so hard.  Maybe you had to be there.

  1. That pillow is gorgeous! All that red is so yummy. I would have nearly cried too. The first time I did a swap I got all teary because I couldn't believe someone would make something so beautiful for me.
