We celebrated our youngest granddaughter's first birthday yesterday. I gave her the pillowcases I had made for her to celebrate the holidays. I make fourteen in all, and with her as grandchild #6, I have made at least 84 pillowcases for grandkids.
After she was born, I first looked through my stash to see what I had, then I went to various quilt shops and even JoAnn Fabrics to buy what I needed to make them.
I cut everything out and got it organized. Then it was a few hours at the computer getting all the embroideries ready to be stitched out. I used the same font for each grandchild on the same holidays such as the Cajun font on each of their Mardi Gras pillowcases.
After I stitched out the name on the band, I assembled each of the pillowcases using the hotdog method and French seams as detailed here.
