AWESOME JOB, Ladies!!! Those pillowcases look GREAT!!
Susan, funny you saying that your son rolls his eyes at some of the prints....I got that same look just last night from my daughter. I bought some more fabric at Joann's....I think that the pattern is just so cute....it has ships and sailboats, and anchors on it .....and it even says "Little Sailor"!!! I told her that it is not the "look" but the "Love"!!! Her reply was "Well, the Love would look better if it had Tanks on it". .....I think that is when I rolled my eyes back at her and just thought to myself...."You got'ta love them"....LOL!!!!
Once Again, AWESOME JOB, Ladies!!!! -
