Baby Audrey Renae arrived on the first day of summer.

Working on some gifts for a friends daughter who recently graduated . 
She loves Vincent Van Gogh' s Starry Night painting.

Pillow case with starry night fabric cuff.  Used this 15 minute pillow case tutorial,  although it was probably closer to an hour.  Note: when she says to trim to 20 x 28 inches,  I trimmed mine  21 x 28 1/2". I did the French seams and am very happy with how it turned out.
