Sewing Bug

It’s been awhile but the sewing bug finally hit again this weekend. 

In January? February? a speaker at my quilt guild talked about tools she recommended, including a lap pillow for hand stitching.

A friend found a video/pattern (here)… 

it looked simple… and easy… 

and didn’t require precise sewing (still can’t see close up)…

so Saturday I cut and quilted the pieces

and Sunday I sewed it up and stuffed it.

Why buy little bags when you can have 5 POUNDS of stuffing??

The idea is to use the pillow to rest your arms/hands on while stitching, which relaxes the tension in your shoulders and neck. 

Such a weird shape…

Not sure if it will work for me - may need to make a larger one or one with less stuffing - but it was fun to make. Hoping my sew-jo is back for reals.
