I hadn’t made my mom and mom-in-law a Thanksgiving pillow cover for last year’s Christmas gift (pillows with changeable covers for each holiday). It took me a couple tries but I finally made a Turkey pattern I love. If you love it too go ahead and grab the pattern. Feel free to use the pattern for personal use and to create projects to sell. Just don’t copy the pattern and sell it as your own.

Print the pattern and cut out the pieces. You’ll need a total of seven of the back tail feathers. Trace the pattern pieces on to the smooth side of your fusible webbing. Now cut around the pieces you’ve traced leaving some negative space around each one.

Above is a photo showing the order of placement for each piece. I measured to the middle of my fabric for the top of my pillow and then situated my top tail feather from there. The pillow form shown in the photos is 14 inches square. Follow the directions on the back of your fusible webbing.

I like to sew around each piece which is needed if you use the Pellon wonder under. For the pieces that have the same number that just means I iron them on at the same time and then sew them both down before moving on.

I hope that makes sense and I haven’t left anything out. If I have please leave me a comment and I’ll get it fixed asap. Happy crafting.

Another quick post for today. Sorry, not enough hours in the day. Just a fun polar bear card I made last night. Super simple and clean and I love how it turned out. I purchased the stamp for a whopping 50 cents at a yard sale this summer. I was told it’s a Provo Craft stamp but can’t be sure since it doesn’t say on the actual stamp itself.

Happy Easter everybody! I have a fitting card for the Easter holiday, lol. Last night I told my two year old that Easter is my favorite holiday and she said that is wasn’t her favorite, Valentine’s is. I spotted this adorable frog paper called “Ka-Zoo Frogs & Hearts” and knew exactly what I’d use it for. The frog paper piecing is made from a pattern by Treasure Box Designs. The hearts and hands are 3D and the “love you” are beads. You can see a few more close up photos on my Etsy shop.

The Easter bunny was good to me this year. Four new High Hopes stamps, three new punches, and a pack of paper I can’t wait to break out. I’ll be back soon with my daughters third birthday invitations too! Right now I need to go get ready for a day of fun with family…
