For Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day, I am sending one lucky commenter this quilted pillow cover. It is made from leftovers from a quilt I have been working on this year. It is a very traditional Jacob's Ladder block and the the color scheme and pattern are borrowed from this tutorial at Blue Elephant Stitches. It measures 18" square and I've used a 20" Ikea pillow form. (To save on shipping, the winner will only receive the quilted pillow cover, not a form as well). It is a whopping 212 pieces, which were aided by strip piecing and Thangles.
I quilted this with some simple straight line quilting, echoing the pattern. It has a dotted fabric on the back with a zippered flap closure.
Here's what the quilt top looks like, made of all of these blocks. I am in the slow process of hand quilting it with perle cotton.

Wow, it looks like a lot of hard work and patience went into that quilt and cushion. My favourite film is edward scissorhands. And the great british bake off and the great british sewing bee are my favourite telly programmes.
I really enjoy The Good Wife... Great for a netflix binge! And every single season is great! Haven't watched much TV lately since we've been in the road... We're in Denver right now for a couple more weeks!! Found an awesome modern quilt shop and spent way too much money!
And yes I follow you! But I've been a terrible blog reader this year!
One of my favorite movies is The
Empire Strikes Back.
The quilt and pillow are beautiful!

I've been watching Monarch of the Glen - kinda silly but not much on Netflix right now. I love this pillow cover for my daughter. She is in college. I am a more traditional quilter so this would be great for her since I can't seem to sew modern! lol! I love the look but haven't learned to achieve the modern look. lol.

I am a huge geek so I love star trek, Stargate and Merlin, to name a few. If you enjoy laughing a lot while watching tv, I also highly recommend how I met your mother and Avatar the last airbender(the cartoon not the movie)
I know its not enjoyed by everyone, but if your willing to give the a shot, I highly suggest a lot of the Japanese anime's you can find on netflix such as Fairy Tail
Foyle's War and Good Neighbors...
I love watching Bones, Castle and a British series called New Tricks.
I love the Masterpiece Theatre shows. Fingers crossed.

I follow you on Bloglovin under jonquil alexia. Wow! Such patience in the beauty of this pillow top!
My favorite tv show is 'Grimm'. The Librarians is looking good, as well. On Netflix I am a huge, geeky Midsomer Murders fan.
I love sons of anarchy its too bad this is the last year of the show. American horror story freak show is good and I love the walking dead but im very sad that they killed off Beth lol I was balling on the inside I was watching that episode with my son and thought hed laugh at me if he seen me crying over a tv show ;)
I love Supernatural. Watch it a lot on Netflix while quilting!
I love foreign films! One of my favorites is For My Father.

I really enjoyed "Call the Midwife" on Netflix. It is perfect to have on in the sewing area while working away. I was disappointed when I finished the series.
I don't watch much TV or movies but I did binge watch Gilmore Girls when they added it to Netflix.
Oh my goodness, you are giving away a pillow that matches your gorgeous quilt! I tend to watch documentaries on Netflix if I'm not watching Daniel Tiger, My LIttle Pony or Curious George. I thought Pururambo was really crazy and worth watching. That is a totally different world than what we experience.
Ok, so I'm late to the party on this one. But i'm just discovering "the Good Wife." I'm only on episode 4 but the bonus of Netflix is no adverts so I'm getting through it quite quickly!!
Love Comes Softly is a very sweet movie series based on books by Janet Oke. They are tear-jerkers.
My favorite tv show is Big Brother.
I just started watching Once Upon a Time on Netflix and am loving it!
love the cover. my netflix fall backshow is Fraiser for a laugh. watched the movie, "In a world" and recommend it highly.
I am a big fan of Grey's Anatomy!
I really like Bones on Netflix. I'm a sucker for socially awkward female characters.
Oh I don't know if my comment went through because I wasnt logged in! Ugh! Ill try again.
I have to recommend American Horror Story in Netflix. It's so good! And for mindless reality tv chuckle, I recommend "Small Town Security".
I love love your pillow cover. Inspiring
your quilt is so pretty. I love your pillow. This would look so pretty on my daughters bed. She only has the pillow she sleeps on right now. She is 27 and on her own in a different state. Some of our favorite tv series are Bones, Forever, Mysteries of Laura, Castle

I'm watching Foyle's War and getting ready for the new Downton Abbey season to start by watching last seasons's episodes.
What a beautiful pillow! Love the colors! Favorite show? Man, I'm a tv-holic.. hehe Love The Blacklist, Major Crimes, Downtown Abby and the list goes on!
Thank you for a super giveaway and a chance to win.

Best thing on netflix- the paradise. I'm hooked!
Happy Holidays!
Big Bang theory is always good for a laugh; and Person of Interest keeps my attention.2810

I'm really enjoying Modern Family and Black-ish. Plus Downton Abbey (can't wait for January to come!). Thanks for sharing this lovely prize with us. The quilt is gorgeous!
Gorgeous pillow! I've been re-watching The West Wing on Netflix... Such an intelligent show!
And I am a follower via Bloglovin'.
Beautiful pillow! My favorite show right now is Nashville but I'm going through the comments looking for recs too.
I read on Feedly as well
I've been watching Restoration Home from the BBC.
What a gorgeous pillow! And I cannot believe how many teeny tiny pieces you have in there. The jacobs ladder block is one that I have heard will be very big in the upcoming months, so you are definitely on trend lol! I love the colors you chose for it too, the contrast is spectacular. (Can you tell I just really love that pillow and quilt lol!)
'bones' is one of my favorite shows.
that pillowcase is incredible! such a lot of work. it would be proudly displayed in my home.
thanks for the chance & happy holidays.
Right now we are watching the gilmore girls on netflix and love it.
I am following you on bloglovin
Love those bright colours!
I've been watching a lot of NCIS (and it's spinoffs) lately. :)
Ummm, I love everything you do. Always. You know that. I kind of covet this quilt.
Shows I love: Scrubs, How I Met Your Mother, and Better Off Ted. Better Off Ted only has twenty something episodes, but it's on Netflix and it's hilarious. Also Peep and the Big Wide World, but that's more because I don't have a real choice during the day about what I watch.
Do I count as a follower if Google sends me a notice every time you update and then I check your blog? Because that's how it goes for me.
I like action and suspenseful movies. Some of my faves are Reservoir Dogs, The Usual Suspects, The Spanish Prisoner, Pulp Fiction & the From Dusk Til Dawn series.

What a beautiful cushion, at first glance I thought, yes that will look lovely in my little girls room in her reading nook - but now I am thinking if I am lucky enough to win I would like to keep it in my bedroom, it's gorgeous. As for TV, well I am afraid I like to zone out to something trashy like The Bachelor. But my favourite movie is The Help, I could watch it over and over and over.
oooh and I am a new follower now too!
thanks, Jen in Melbourne
Beautiful pillow!
Fav TV shows? LOST for sure, Switched At Birth is AMAZING. Amazing amazing ( it's on ABC family). I also love House of Cards since Kevin Spacey is super cute. Orange is the new black is great too. Also American Horror Story (season one is the best!).
Oh my gosh. That is beautiful! Right now, my husband and I are addicted to Homeland. Also, my favorite movie is You Can Count on Me which is available on Netflix.
I follow with Feedly.
Gorgeous! It would go well in my daughters room that I'm decorating.
Forgot to add that some of my favorite Netflix shows: Call the Mdwives, Scandal (!!), Dexter, OITNB. All of them a bit addicting!

If you haven't seen the irish series Love/hate then highly recommend it. Brilliant drama. Also recommend the irish/uk version of the Fall with Jamie Dornan aka Mr Christian Grey!
The Office is great. Must watch it from the beginning to get to know the characters. It's so awesome...never gets old. Ps. This pillow is incredible.
love the pillow and the quilt! I watch Dr. Who while I quilt! :)

Beautiful pillow. We watch all the NCIS shows.
Oh my! BEAUTIFUL!!! I am not a TV or movie watcher so I don't have suggestions... a while back I watched a few episodes of Parenthood, but I'm not sure if that's still running... sorry for not being of much help.
Thanks for the chance to win your beautiful creations.
My guilty-pleasure favorite tv show are all of the Real Housewives series. Your pillow and quilt are absolutely stunning! Thank you for offering this giveaway.
I love Outlander!
Favorite movie is Holiday Inn!
So many shows and movies I love, but I have some really obscure tastes so I will suggest a few; 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' - Netflix has the original Swedish version of 3 movies which is superior to the Hollywood version, 'Gilmore Girls', 'Portlandia', 'Secrets of the Tower of London', 'Wildest Islands', and 'Mysteries at the Museum'. All are available on Netflix.
Your pillow and quilt are gorgeous!!! I'm a Netflix devotee and I just discovered the Danish show "Dicte" which has English subtitles. It's a really nice mystery/drama with good female characters and a satisfying storyline.
My favourite ever is Spooks from the BBC!
I follow you on Bloglovin. I just love this pillow - great colours :-)
If you happen to like Downton Abby, you may like "The Paradise." It centers around a new department store and how its existence effects people from all classes of the community. It currently has one season on Netflix.

Hi there Laurie,
We are huge Netflix fans, but being in Canada, our stream is different from yours. That being said, I have recently enjoyed The Eagle, Savages and a series called The Borgias. Pretty Little Liars is my secret sweet! I keep on wanting to re-watch OITNB. One of my favourite TV programs on cable is The Listener, but it is a Canadian show and you might not get it. Thanks so much for the giveaway,

Love the personalized giveaway, your patchwork is so beautiful.
My husband and I have a few favorite movies, but laugh and find 'The Castle' funnier and funnier every time we see it. It seems no one has heard of it when we mention it, maybe because it was filmed Down Under, and some years old now too.
Merry Christmas from Oklahoma, USA! I love LONGMIRE! Netflix picked it up and will continue with new season. crystalbluern at onlineok dot com
