Aaron's Pillowcase

I have a new finish for my Amish neighbor kids' birthdays. (See my Leanna's Pillowcase post for more information on this year long project.)  This pillowcase was made for Aaron.

Aaron turned 15 on July 1st.  He is finished with school and has 'worked out' for the past year.  He has learned to assist a farrier and now shoes horses.  He has also been breaking and training horses for riding and for pulling buggies.  His paycheck comes home to help support the family, and he receives a small amount to save for himself.  Many Amish kids get a cell phone with their savings and only text with the phone as that is less expensive.  Once they join the church as adults, the cell phones are no longer used.  Aaron's favorite color is dark blue.  I found a Moda fabric with slight mottling that could be counted as plain. 

I made the end of the pillowcase by piecing Kona red, navy and black stripes.

I find photographing pillows impossible!
