Materials :

13 x 14 inch of Black Material for the front
14 x 14 inch of Black Material for the back
Crafter's Companion Country Cottage Strip roll
Matching Thread
Sewing Machine



 1. Take the strip roll and fold in half and iron


2. Take each of the strips and cut to 13 inches in width then sew to the 13 x 14 black front. You can leave as much space between as you like just make sure you sew each one the same.


3. When finished sewing the strips on the front even up the 13 x 14 square.
4. Take the back of the black fabric and cut to to 9x14 and the other 5x14.
5. Take the 9x14 and fold one end 1/4 iron and then fold another 1/4 and iron, then you will sew.
6. Take the 5x14 and do the same as in step 5.  This will keep the opening from fraying. 

7. Now you will have a 13 x 14 front and an 8.50 x 14 back and another 4.50 x 14 back.
8. With right side together lay on top an sew completely around the square to close on all sides.  This will leave an opening in the middle for turning.
9. When turning make sure you push the corner completely out, if you need you can cut the corners for less bulk.
10. If you like you can add some embellishments to the pillow.  If you are sewing embellishments on you may want to do this before putting the square together.
11. Add your pillow.

"Hebrews" Coffee Card ( Skipping Stones Design ) Oct 16th Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to Skipping Stones Design's October blog hop.  For my card I have decided to use the Coffee stamp #2 .  I colored the coffee cup with Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers .  This is a Digi stamp so after printing I did wait 24hr before coloring with the Alcohol markers to make sure the ink is completely dry, so I do not have any mixing of the printer ink with the alcohol marker colors.  I had a great time creating this card.  Please scroll down for pictures, supplies (  link's ),  a how toooooo, and a tutorial at the end.  Make sure you visit the links below to see other cards made by Skipping Stones Design Team.  Please make sure to leave a comments on everyones creations, let them know how much you like the designs they have created. The cup stamp is  coffee stamp #2 it is Colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers.   Cut White card stock to 4 1/2 x 5 and Decorative Card stock to 4 1/4 x 7 7/8  inches. Add some silver Sparkle Tape

Working with the Gemini Apple Core Dies

Tips for sewing Apple Core Shapes.....  This will go on Sale on HSN January 24th., they will go fast make sure you get yours. 1st you will have one that will go sideways which is the Con-Caved Core and you will have one the will be long ways.   You always want the con-caved Apple Core on top when sewing together.   So my Con-caved apple core is the red strips, fold in half  and press a seam.  The yellow one fold in half long ways and press. Put right sides together and place the pressed seam on top one an other and pin.  This is very important to sew straight. Now match up and pin both outside corners.  The fabric will be buckled like the picture and that is fine.   It should look like this when taking to the sewing machine.  Below is a little video on sewing Apple Core Shapes.
