In this class you will create a pillow cover that has a pocket to hold a favorite book to enjoy while resting comfortably on this pillow. A simple patchwork pattern will be enhanced with a simple machine applique of your choice, cut with the Acuquilt system. The themes to select include: Sea Life, Owl, Dog, Cat, Dinosaur, Heart, Flowers, or a Western Medley. The blocks created in the block party classes will be cut using the Acuquilt cutting system.
