Every year my bunco group does one of those gift exchanges where you draw numbers and take turns opening packages.  It’s the kind of thing that starts out civil but ends with stealing and fits of laughter.

I brought this pillow, which is a knock off of a Pottery Barn pillow that isn’t listed on their site so you will just have to take my word that it looked a little bit like this.

This one is made with a khaki cotton that has a linen look that’s on a 12 inch pillow form.  The poinsettia is just a bunch of petals cut out of ivory felt and stitched down with linen floss.  I used buttonhole twist thread to stitch the jingle bells.

Today I’m doing my best to finish up some presents and getting started on this years teacher gifts – hope the oven is ready.
