Leroy's Pillow

 Leroy's pillow, made to match his quilt, 'The Heavens Declare Thy Glory', is done.  I used the last pieces of the glow-in-the-dark fabric for the back; just look at all the seams in that 'X'!  The lining is made from one of Larry's old (but unstained, amazingly enough) work shirts.  The pillow is stuffed with Quilters' Dream wool batting.

A month or more ago, I promised Larry that as soon as I finished the quilts I was making for the grandchildren for Christmas, I would hem his new jeans.  And lookie, I done did it, as promised!

'The Heavens Declare Thy Glory', Finished

 'The Heavens Declare Thy Glory' for grandson Leroy, 13, is finished.  It measures 81.5" x 81.5".  The Whirling Star block is from EQ8.  The printed fabric is 'In Space Planets' by Elizabeth's Studio.  I used 40-wt. Stone Blue Signature thread on top, and 60-wt. Medium Blue Bottom Line in the bobbin.  The batting is Quilters' Dream wool.  The glow-in-the-dark squares in the backing is 'Space Planets' by Camelot Fabrics.  It's quilted with a pantograph called 'Star Spangled'.  I have a hand-guided (not computer-driven) 18" Handi Quilter Avanté on a 12' Studio Frame.
