I have been super busy trying to get 13 reading pillows ready for Christmas at our house for the greats. we have 8 biologicals, 2 adopted, and 3 Foster. They range in age from 2 to 10. All but 4 of them are reading or starting to read, so I got books to put in each one. The kids have way too many toys, so hopefully these will get some use.

What a lovely labour of love and I am sure you have had fun creating them

They all look so colourful; great work! May the grands love holding a real book in their hands. Mine prefer e-readers and I think they miss a lot of fun.

I do use a lot of the E-readers books, but turning pages let you know you are accomplishing something.

Books are my favorite gift items and the pillows make them very special. Hugs. Nan

That's a lot of love sitting on the sofa. Congratulations on completing this major project. I love the fabrics, carefully chosen for each child's book and the Handle on the pillow is a really nice touch.

My goodness, that picture is showing a huge amount of love and devotion and hours spent creating very special reading pillows. I know you spent a lot of time picking out the fabrics too.

I tried to use material that I might have had...and that didn't work out at all. LOL I don't have a lot of fabric for kids. I usually buy for their projects as I do them. But, I did get some that I used, so that saved a little. My grand-daughter gave me a little picture a long time ago that says
"She who dies with the most Fabric wins"....I have to chuckle each time I see it. LOL Hugs

I would like my husband to read this part very carefully. Quote 'I tried to use material that I might have had...and that didn't work out at all. LOL"
He always says as much as I have I always seem to need more. I might have enough of everything for a project or I may need background fabric bc I don't have ENOUGH but he thinks it could all be made with ANY of the fabrics. I and Karen would both be spinning with vertigo if he pieced something-lol

These are a work of love and I'm excited for your christmas. So far, I have not came up with something 'special' like I usually try to do...I'm in a slump I guess.

I am sure you will figure it out. I want to make them all candy cane holders too, but don't know if that will get done. It means I have to go out and buy felt. LOL

What pretty gifts. Yes we all need to use our fabric stash and this is a wonderful way.Best thing is it can be carried anywhere. Great job.
