A set of pillows called Alice

Youth had been a habit of hers
for so long that she could not part with it.

~ Rudyard Kipling

My friend Alice had a birthday.


Alice is a dear friend, a fellow poet and a fellow Crazy Cat Lady and loves purple as much as I do. She has also painted rooms in her house a delicious shade of mango and I couldn't resist putting together something for her that featured both of those colors. Of course, I had to put a cat in there somewhere, too.




The quilted covers have an envelope closure so you can remove them for easy washing; inside are homemade pillow forms. It was fun to see these in Alice's house; I don't always get to see where my handiwork ends up and I love to think my pieces are being used and enjoyed.




Happy Birthday, Alice! I adore you.

Birthdays are good for you.
The more you have, the longer you live.
