Wow, the time flies! We hope you’ve enjoyed these past 12 episodes! We’d love to know about the things you’ve been making this season! You can post on our Facebook page and share the fun!

In the meantime, we have one last episode to wrap up Season 4! Learn how to make an easy pillow-case! Once you learn this fun method, you’ll be making them for everyone and for every occasion! We’ve started a tradition now of making them for our children for each holiday in fun fabrics!

Also, we’d like to encourage you to be a part of the 1-Million Pillowcase Challenge — an amazing way to use your time and talents to benefit cancer patients, foster children, and others. Read all about it here and learn how you can become involved. Kris’ quilt shop, “My Girlfriend’s Quilt Shoppe”,  is also an official drop-off center for these pillowcases, as well as hundreds of others across the country.

We hope you have a wonderful week! We sincerely thank you for being a part of our show. We appreciate your support, kindness, and enthusiasm!

They are 2 simple projects that make a perfect keepsake! It’s that time of year to get together with family and friends! So why not make the projects together? We are filming live from The Creative Connection and Stacy Julian and Cathe Holden are our guests!

This is perhaps one of our favorite projects because it is so easy to make and can be used to create pillows, tablerunners, or even a quilt!

Here are some additional photos!

Pre-cut kits for the tablerunner are available here. We know it’s a busy time of year, so just think how nice it will be to have all of the circles, squares, and strips already pre-cut and ready to be assembled! Rick-rack trims, pre-cut snowflake, borders, binding, and backing are all included in one easy kit!

Have a wonderful week everyone and enjoy making something new!
