Yep...there are only 8 days till Christmas. Do I hear screaming and panic? I am sorry to say that...yes, I am a last minute kind of gal and there is definitely a bit of panic around here. Which doesn't work well when you really enjoy giving handmade gifts. But, one of my favorite gifts to give and receive is a pillow. They can be bowl filler size...

 
or couch size...
 
There are many patterns available for making pillows, but truly any piece of embroidery, cross stitch, or quilt block can be made into a pillow and it is easy to personalize a pillow for the receiver. These pillows were gifts and I treasure the love that came with the gift.
 
 
 
P.S. For an odd sized pillow insert, I just cut my batting to the size pillow I need and then stuff it with poly fill, so there isn't a pillow I can't stuff, LOL! Enjoy this last week before the holiday and take time for yourself.
 
Learn about the history of pillows from Anna in her original blog about them, Anna and G on the Road: Pillow Talk.
