You ever have one of those days when it is so hard to get things done right! Well today is one of them for me! I made this pillow for our great-nephew's first birthday party tomorrow & I should have sewn the rick rack on first but I did not & I sewed the whole thing altogether before I stuffed it! I made the pillow insert & sewed it all up & then I got stuck by a pin that I had left inside! Al in all the pillow from Eric Carle Titled The Hungry Caterpillar is the theme for the party so the mom will be pleased but more importantly the little guy is always napping on the floor so now he will have a soft pillow to lay on. It is quite a large pillow it's 23 by 20

Wow, Lor...these are fantastic...I have never heard of the Hungry Catipillar, but you did an outstanding job! Did you create these patterns yourself...the colors are wonderful!

it is by Eric Carle he wrote books on the Hungry Caterpillar. This is a panel for the birthday party & added the rick rack on both sides & turned it into a pillow. Thanks Hugs & **
Hungry Caterpillar...see what happens when you don't have kids...I need to bone up on childrens' reading books!

Your pillow is lovely. My children loved the hungry caterpillar when they were young (they are 40+ now). The colours are so vibrant. Well done - your problems don't show, it looks great.

It is the cutest so bright and colorful. Like that the rick-rack is sewn on flat. If you had sewn it into the seam he could have poked his skin so it worked out nice that way. I don't remember the story but I see the caterpillar on one side and it emerging on the other side as a beautiful butterfly. Now I'm going to have to go find a copy of the book.

Oh! Loralye this brings back great memories. My kids all listened to me reading them this when they were little. I got it for Ben when he was about 2 and he's now 34. I know the book came out in 1969 so it's been around for a long time. It's a classic in every child's library here in Australia. Love Chris
