I meant to post photos of some of the things I made last year but I didn't get around to it. So here is a queen sized duvet cover I made for my down comforter. I bought the fabric online so I didn't realize the it was gold. But, it was beautiful and I loved it. I made a couple of pillow cases to match.
Here it is laid out in the spare bedroom looking like a bohemian squat amidst some of my other ongoing projects.

I liked the pillow cases so much I made some green ones. Then, I made some blue ones, too. They are very cheery and make me feel like a princess! Since they are 100% cotton, I usually don't throw them in the dryer after washing but air dry them and iron them to a crisp finish. People (wives/women and servants, I suppose) used to iron all of their linens along with their clothes! Hard to believe in this day and age. Sometimes, I think I could be a hermit and never leave the house except to go on vacation!
