Thanks Dutchy.
Ok, I'm in but only conditionally. I just went and ironed on the patterns to the pillow cases. Um...I try really really hard when ironing on things to the pillow cases, yet it never seems to fail, they never come out exactly the same on both pillow cases. So the main object is about 1/2 each difference from the border of each other. IE both have a border I ironed on. The main object above the border, on one pillow case is around 1/4 inch above the border, on the other it's about 1/2 inch above the border. (maybe more). *sigh* There's no way of washing out the pattern once it's on the pillow cases.
If you don't mind the slight difference, then I will be your partner and continue on to embroider them for you.
Don't worry I will not be upset or offended if you don't want ones that aren't perfect. lol OTOH, if you want perfect ones, you may want to be Alee's partner, and not mine. lol hahaha Cause I can't seem to get them perfect ever. And I don't really have money to go and buy more pillow cases. Sorry. :(
Like I said, I will not be offended if this is not up to your standards. Just let me know.
If you still want to be my partner, I have a idea from your blog that you like pink. If other wise let me know. Also if you could maybe send me some pics of your bedroom, (or at least your bed), so I can get some form of idea for a color scheme to go on, that'd be great.
I also like to know the hair, and eye color of the person/people I am making them for. So please let me know that too. IF you still want me. :) |

Please add me to the embroidered pillow case swap, Alee.
The due date is perfect just after the holiday season begins.
To whomever I am linked to for the exchange :
Please let me know if you don't mind vintage fabric with the applique, tatting or cut work done by a Farm Sister from the past with a twist of something added to the box --- or would prefer a set that I will make to reflect your own wonderful personality.
Wishing everyone sweet dreams with every pillowcase creation.
