As children usually like trains and animals, when my youngest grandson was born, I made him a quillow, that is, a blanket/quilt which folds up into a pocket to form a pillow, making it very easy for mum to carry when out and about with junior and his 101 imperative necessities.
I tried to add a bit of animal fun to the applique letters that spell out the name `Fernando´ on the pillow pocket which is sewn on the reverse side of the blanket.
I used bright happy colours for all the wagons
and filled them with an assorted mixture of furry friends.
Just love this blanket and wish I had quilted it properly, I can´t do it now due to the pocket on the reverse side.
Next Sunday the 25th I will be participating in the Grow Your Blog event hosted by Vicki at 2 Bags Full, so I hope you will join in the fun and stop by.
See you then.

ReplyDeleteYour quillow is adorable; filled with oodles of fun. Your Fernando will have hours of fun making up stories around 'his' train of friendly critters.

ReplyDeleteOh Sheryl, this is just fantastic. Such a lovely quilt and a pillow in one. Your grandson will love the train and the animal letters a lot. My grandson is nearly 3 and trains are his big love too. I am going to stitch a Christmas stocking with a train on it for him.
