For Christmas 2011 I made a quilted throw to hang in front of the fireplace - because honestly in Atlanta even in winter - you almost never use the thing.
As evidenced by the houseplants still sitting on the porch when I took these photos the following fall.
Despite my over-the-top affection for Christmas, you've got to love The Grinch that Stole Christmas!
and all those sweet folks living down in Whoville. Thank you Theodor Seuss Geisel aka Dr. Seuss. And thank you Robert Kaufman Fabrics for licensing the designs and making the fabric available. By the way, I notice it's still available at Fabric.com (and elsewhere), and now I see they have it in flannel!
So here comes the wonderful coincidence. My guild held a pillow swap recently, and when I pulled a number out of the hat, which pillow did I get?
Why this fabulous bit of Grinchmas of course.
My fellow guild member, Linda Petersen-Smith made four of these panels with scraps from another project, and then sewed them up with coordinating fabric to make the pillow. I couldn't be happier with the pillow or the little bit of serendipity. Funny how things work out sometimes.
