We have great neighbors where I live. The family to the northeast of us is no exception. They have been so kind to us and are always there for us. They have nine children. One way we show appreciation to this family is to remember their birthdays. This year it will be custom pillowcases in each person's favorite color. This will be is a challenge for me as I am a lover of printed fabric and the family is Amish. So I must use solid fabrics.
First up is Leanna. She is going to be 9. The first time the family paid us a visit when we moved into the neighborhood, the children all sat quietly as the adults talked...except Leanna. Leanna had to make several trips to our bathroom, and it was mostly so she could check out our house. Her mother was on to her and was a bit embarrassed.
Leanna's a bit of a free spirit and her favorite color is red. I have also noticed when the girls in their family get to chose a fabric color for dresses, such as a soft blue, Leanna would rather have teal.
So here's Leanna's pillowcase.
First a close up...
And the finished pillow! Hope she likes it! Hope her parents don't think it is too bright!

I like it! It is graphic but since she likes red so much I doubt her parents will think it is too bright.
That is so fun! Great visual
