Finished project!

It's been awhile since I've had a project finished! When I was looking through my stash, I found these fabrics...

...which reminded me that I never finished the pillow I was making with them!

Awhile ago, I was trying to decide on a pattern to use for the guest bedroom quilt. I pitched a few ideas, and my husband liked the look of cathedral windows. Since they looked time consuming, I figured I'd try a small project with them first.

I finished the pillow top, but it sat around unfinished for months - until yesterday! I rallied and finished it into a pillow with an envelope back:

While I like the results a lot, I wasn't a big fan of how many hours of ironing were required for this kind of piecing. I like sewing. Not ironing. So, alas, the full size quilt will not end up being cathedral windows!

In some other news, here is a little peek at what I have been up to today:

Super pretty!! You'll see the results soon :)

And, last but not least, Aunt Marilyn requested some pics of the house. Well, I haven't taken very many, but here's a glimpse of our formal living room (how I loooove having a formal living room!):
