You are so very welcome. Don't you love seeing something, hearing something, etc., that remind you of people that have been a part of your life?

This makes me so happy. I've been meaning to do this to several vintage cases and several new ones to give them character. Love the blog too.

Thank you. I have just ordered a pointed crochet hook and can't wait to try it out on more pillowcases! It should eliminate sewing the foundation with the blanket stitch.
