I just received my pillow cases from Cora. I can't brag enough. They are beautiful, gorgeous, perfect, stunning, truly amazing. She hand embroidered a lovely farm scene on both, with flowers, cart and umbrella and if that wasn't enough hand work, she also did 1 1/2 inch of crotchet lace on the trim. I need to figure out how to add pictures of these.
Cora, thank you so, so much. They are too precious for on my bed so I am going to pin them up as valances in my bedroom :).
Mine are machine made so I am feeling a little guilty. But they were made with love and care so I hpe you like them too.
Thank you again,
Nicola x |

Hi all I loved doing this so much. Could we possibly do it again? Just a thought.

I got my pillowcases over the holiday weekend, and they are SO great!!!!!!! They are in jewel tones, to match my " Jewel Box" quilt. Catherine also spent a LOT of time drying kefir grains and tibicos ( water kefir) grains for me, since we are both fermenters. She also provided me with info on reydrating them and then using them. I have made kefir before, but not tibicos. I will start on both when I get back from Haiti.
The pillowcases have a ruffled accent and then the " regular" accent piece. I put them on a body pillow I use as a regular pillow, so the ruffles and accents are in the middle. It's SUCH a cool effect.I'm pretty sure nobody in the whole wide world would have one- totally unique and wonderful! The pillow now resembles a giant butterfly!
Catherine, thanks again so very much! You totally made my day.
Your Farmgirl Sister,

I'm so glad you like them! And using two regular cases on a body pillow sounds rather cool, I never would have thought of doing that. Your enthusiasm has totally made *my* day :)

Thanks Nicola for all your work and the color was my favorite - purple on white - The package was here when I got home from a hospital visit and certainly made my day....also, thanks for the beautiful card. keep in touch....I loved this exchange. |

Hi Cora,
i am so sorry that you were sick. :( I hope you are feeling much better now.
Glad that parcel arrived. I was just nervous that something had happened to it. I am missing some things that I sent out to other people around the same time. Not sure what is going on with that?
Thank you for your lovely compliments. I really enjoyed making these for you. I might have to make them for myself when I have time, whenever that might be!!! I realized after I mailed them that I forgot to put ribbon in the shoe bag. Sorry for that,
Love Nicola |

| I'm disappointed that my partner never responded with her address after I made the pillowcases, but I'll use them for Christmas presents or something. I hope nothing has happened to her. |
