Have you all recovered from Christmas? I'm still full from Christmas lunch! Mind you that hasn't stopped me eating ... way too many yummy things in my house at the moment!
So this is my Rocket Ship Pillow that I've made using the applique shapes from the Art Smocks ...
Not quite the Starship Enterprise but what the heck, my little men like it anyway! :)
To be in the giveaway for this pillow you will need to leave a comment between now and the 3rd of January. Anyone who has left a comment on any of my last 10 posts will get an extra entry for each comment (not including the last post for the Flower Garden Pillow).
I have also made a down-loadable pattern for this pillow so if you ask for it in your comment I will send it off to you.
Thanks for the feedback about the Flower Garden Pillow! I'm very pleased that you like it.
Good luck and I'll see you back here again on the 2nd of January with the winner of the Flower Garden Pillow.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and hope you all have a happy and safe New Year!
Kellie
Edit: You can find the tutorial and pattern for this pillow in my side bar listed under tutorials. Thanks for stopping by!
do I get an extra point for being first to comment :-) Boys one is just great Kellie , better for me too. Happy New Year to you all too

Lovely work again, could I please have the pattern for this one too.
Posted by: Lesley | December 28, 2008 at 03:26 AM
That pillow is so sweet. But your quilting just amazes me!!! I've been quilting since 1990 and can't come even remotely close to what you do. And your daughter is wonderful too. You are so talented. I love your bright and "happy" colors. Everything you do is "happy". That's terrific. Oh yes, send the downloadable to me! Thanks so much.

This one's just as cute as the flowers. I'd love to have a copy of the downloadable pattern.
Thanks.

WOW! How do you do it? I found your blog the other day and have been going through some of your old entries. Your quilts are amazing! May I ask when you began machine quilting and what did it seem like in the beginning?
I only have two little kids at home and I seem to get nothing done. On top of that our home is a mess... I have this problem, where I get very excited about different projects and have difficulty in getting them finnished. What is your daily rhythym like? How do you do it? All I can say is: WOW!
If possible, I too would like a copy of the pattern for this pillow also. Please and thank you!
How to you attach your appliques to the background before you hand sticth them or sew them on with the machine?
If you have the time and if you don't mind answering my questions I would be very glad to hear from you.
Your work really is amazing!

Another stunning project I'd love to win and also love to have the pattern.

Now this makes me wish my boys were little again! You've been sewing like a crazy woman -- how did you manage it all in the middle of getting ready for Christmas? Oh, and I forgot to say how much I love the picture of your little cherubs in front of the Christmas tree -- they're all SO adorable!!!
Posted by: Thimbleanna | December 29, 2008 at 05:17 AM
My little boy would love this pillow, and I would like to try the pattern if too. Your work is so beautiful, thanks for the giveaway!
Posted by: maryanne | December 29, 2008 at 05:38 AM
Kellie,
I love the pillow!!
It would look so amazing in my little boys room (hint, hint)
If I am not lucky enough to win, then a copy of the tutorial will be very much appreciated and I will make my own instead, which will of course be nowhere as beautiful as yours.
Cheers,
Sarah

Oh, happy New Year Kellie. x x x
Posted by: Kim | December 29, 2008 at 01:21 PM
Hi Kellie - graded fabric you used. I would love to go in the draw to win this. Will you be doig tutorials for these pillows?
Posted by: Amelia | December 29, 2008 at 02:50 PM
I'd love the pattern. We are expecting a baby in March and I still haven't started decorating his room. This would be perfect
Posted by: Andrea | December 29, 2008 at 02:53 PM
That is a wonderful pillow. The background fabric is just perfect! I would love the pattern, along with the chance to win yours.
Your Christmas tree is stunning, too.
Posted by: Angela | December 29, 2008 at 02:54 PM
The pillows are too cute. I love your fabric selections.thanks for sharing,
Posted by: amy | December 29, 2008 at 03:08 PM
The people who leave the comments about how their kids would love the pillow make me laugh...because my big kid 26 year old hubby would also like the pillow. He is, after all, a rocket scientist, so it would stand to reason (no joke, he's an aerospace engineer). I would like to see the pattern, not sure if I'm brave enough to tackle applique yet.
