Welcome to my giveaway for Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day. I really didn't think I was going to be able to participate for this round, but I made a pillow cover just in time. This is a 16" patchwork square pillow cover made with some of my most favorite fabrics, leftovers from a quilt I made last year:
The pillow back is made with a flapped, zipper enclosure and this fun bike print:
To win, please leave a comment on this post before Sunday, May 10 at 5 pm PST. International entries are welcome. If you want to just say hi, that is fine. If you have any baby name suggestions for me and feel so inclined to give me a suggestion (boy or girl- we never find out the gender ahead of time), that would make for fun reading for me. Only thirteen more days till our family welcomes the little one and I cannot wait because I am so sick of bring pregnant!!!
Another entry for following me on my blog (via Bloglovin, Google+, etc.) or on IG (@dresdenlane) is also available. Just leave another comment letting me know this.
Here's an idea of the kinds of projects I have been posting lately:
Thanks for stopping by and good luck with entering all of the giveaways.
The random number generator chose #13, Christine Sullivan. Thanks to all for participating and giving me lots of great baby name ideas.

Cassidy Morgan is one of my favorite names
Love the pillow top and the back is super cute too! That little dress is adorable!
Your quilting is gorgeous!
And I love the surprise bike print on the back of the pillow!
How about Sarah for a girl and Andrew for a boy! Good luck!
I love watching all the stuff you do! I wish I had the timE! As for names, the only name we loved that we didn't get to use was Molly :)
Can't resist suggesting baby names! For a boy I love Benjamin, for a girl I like so many: Quinn, Charlotte, Francesca (Frankie is so cute), Ava, and Maeve just to name a few. Good luck!
Your pillow is gorgeous!! And the fabric on the back ... I do have a bike like this - with a basket on the front :) but in a bright red - LOL.
Here in Germany PAUL or ANNA are very famous names ...
HI. I just had a baby 8 months ago and named her Aylin after a quilter in Germany that I know from Instagram.
I already follow on bloglovin and would be thrilled to win this gorgeous pillow cover!
Following on bloglovin. Love your Aragon bag. Plus your quilts and your daughter.
Here are my suggestions for names:
Daniel or Christina.
Have a happy delivery! peterstankovich@comcast.net
Beautiful pillow - love the postage stamp style.
What a beautiful cover!
And baby names... Elizabeth, Emily, Hannah, Molly, Adam, Benjamin, Joshua, Alexander. Just a few I like!
Love the patchwork pillow cover.
Baby girls: Molly Elizabeth, Madison Elise, or Abigail (Abby)
Lovely cushion! I'd have been tempted to keep it with the quilt... Rosie or Robin.
Following via Google+. Love your work and your artistry. Genevieve or Gwenevere for your girl.... Charles or Phillip for a boy. Heart you girl!
Beautiful patchwork! I'm partial to Alexander for a boy and Molly for a girl ;)
Wishing you a smooth & joyful delivery! We named our boys Thomas & David (I love the classics). I would probably go old school for a girl, too.
Thank you for a fun giveaway. My suggestions are Huw for a boy, and Susannah for a girl. x
I already follow with Bloglovin. x
What a wonderful pillow ... count me in for the drawing! Thank you.
Hmmm baby names... well I named my son Logan, which didn't seem like a popular name at the time, but now there are about 4 Logans in each and every class at his elementary school. I still like it though. My daughter's name in Lane, which is much less common and we can call her Laney, which is the BEST! :D
Following you on bloglovin.
Oh, and I think "May" would be a perfect middle name for a girl born this month!
My kiddos are Brett Isaac and Kendra Hope. If little Boo had been a girl he would have been Hannah Faith. Congrats on your new little bundle!!

LOVE this scrappy pillow cover...your quilt is beautiful! Love baby names...my girl is Matilda. Also love Maeve, Dahlia, Orli (Hebrew for light), Gertie, Annie and Mabel. Boys names: Jonah and Judah were the only ones on our list but I also like August/ Gus, Theo, lawson.
buffyh_6 (AT) (yahoo) (DOT) com
Love the pillow fabrics! Khloe is a cute girl name, hope you have a smooth delivery :)
I would vote against Kevin and Michelle ... that are the names that everyone picks for their kids here (Germany) when they want to sound so "cool and international".
I always liked Jocelyn and Claire ...
Bethany & Benjamin are pretty great. Pretty much any name on the social security website's top baby names from the 1980's or earlier. I love traditional names. Thanks for the chance to win! mto2golsen (at) gmail (dot) com
I follow with Bloglovin'.
We had a baby last year and named her Summer.
Super cute pillow! For a girl I like Olivia
For a boy William or Joseph
I am a Bloglovin follower.
Love the pillow. So cute. Thanks for the giveaway. Ps... I like the names Hazel and Hazen.
Whoops...trying again, sorry about the messed up deleted post.
Best luck with those uncomfortable last days! If our boys were girls, they would have been Cordelia and Theodora. I still like those names but we'll never use them!
t_ktl at yahoo.com
I love the name Ava Jane.
My girls are Eden Rose and Lillon Adella. :)
Please don't spell traditional names with modern twist.
In Finland, they don't name the baby for two months - waiting for personality to emerge.
I don't quilt too much because while I like cutting out square after square and figuring out the engineering, I don't like sewing 81 squares together.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Congrats on the upcoming baby..they are so precious! I had 6 myself and I have 15 grandchildren...so far...:) Another due this fall. If I had another boy we would have named him John Edward. Nice old fashioned name and Grace or Joanna if we had another girl.
What an awesome giveaway. I like old fashioned names. I love Edward for a boy and Lucy for a girl.
I follow you on Bloglovin :) Ooh, and I love Jack too. I always wanted to call my son Jack, however, with my surname, I just couldn't do it to the kid. Now I'm glad I didn't cause we ended up naming him Leo and it fits him perfectly. Good luck.
baby names hummm I like Lillian
I absolutely love that pillow cover!! I'm not good at suggesting names, but my daughter's is Cora Rose and I love it so much! :)
Well, I would have suggested Charlotte for a girl, but now that the princess is Charlotte it will probably be very popular. It's actually my first name. My granddaughters are Nora Rose and Ava Pearl. Love them. My grandson is Hollis David after his great- and grandfathers on both sides and his daddy. Whatever you choose will be perfect. ;)
Congratulations! So nice to be surprised on d-day!
Picking out names is hard, especially if your husband makes jokes out of them like mine did :).
donnalee1953 (at) gmail (dot) com
Fabulous!
How about Charlotte Elizabeth after our new little Princess????
Bloglovin follower
I follow on bloglovin. Love all your projects!
Baby names are hard to choose, especially boy names. I like old fashioned middle names. Best wishes!!
Such an exciting time for your family! Some of my favorite names are Rose for a girl (my Mother and daughter share this as their middle names) and Emmett (We named my son this after my grandfather)
I love the bright colors, and never seem to get around to making pillow covers even though they are quick projects (compared to a whole quilt). I'll suggest Avery as a name.
How did I not figure out you had a blog till today! Love the bike fabric on the back of the pillow, it reminds me of something else you made! 😉. My baby advice is that you let me get my baby fix at guild meeting when you need a break! You amaze me with all your sewing as you wiat for your little one to arrive!!!!
What a gorgeous pillow!
I follow through Feedly.
Your pillow is great, I love the cheerful fabrics and the bike fabric backing is perfect. We never knew what our children were ahead of time so often scrambled to agree on a name. I love the name Emma and Matthew has always been a favorite.
I am already a follower on Bloglovin
The Bike print on the back is amazing... fabulous cushion cover
I am partial to the names of my three beautiful boys: Reid, Corbin, and Dexter. Congratulations!!
What a beautiful pillow cover! I love the name James for a boy and Eva or Zoey for a girl
I love scrappy, and I love cycling, so doubly love your pillow! I played with Heath and Heather for my first pregnancy, was a boy, so my oldest son is Heath. Love Heather though! lizisquilting at gmail dot com
The pillow is beautiful. I love the bike print. My daughters name is Emma and for a boy I like the name Finn.
This is the most ridiculously cute pillow ever!!
I'm loving this pillow! xoxo

Bloglovin follower
I'm gonna have to share my kids names. Anwen, Marged and Benji. Benji is the only boy. (They're Welsh names)
Good luck with the next few months x
Love the fabric in the pillow. Baby name - Abigail.
Love the Pillow cover!!! Beautiful!!
Also love your Darling Model, in her very pretty dress!! So cute!!
We just had new Granbaby, and his name is Keller. Also have Grangirlie named Chloe. :)
Baby names is always tricky but at the moment I love the Irish names. Unfortunately they are a nightmare to spell.
Roisin (speak Roshin)
Siobhan (speak Shivan)
and on the boys definitely Maitiú
All the best!
I am a new Follower of yours thru Bloglovin too :)
Wishing you a safe delivery and a happy, healthy little one! Love the pillow cover.

How about Alina for a girl, or Nikolai for a boy? sarah@forrussia.org
You are the not the first to ask for baby names in a sewing blog recently .. and I'll give you the same suggestions (since I know nothing about you or your taste in names except that you are creative and like sewing). Denim, Corduroy, Lacey .. use fabrics or colors for inspirations, or for something more subtle, name them after one of your favorite lines of fabric or designers!
All the best with the rest of your pregnancy!
Some of my favourite names are:
girls - Charlotte, Saskia and Natasha
boys - Elijah, Matthias and Spencer
Beautiful! you do an amazing job!
gorgeous pillow! and wishing you all the best!
Thank you so much for the chance! And dont worry about baby names - as soon as you see your little person you will just know the right name :) But if you really want suggestions...Id say Mathilda for a girl and Lasse for a boy (just love Scandinavian names :))
Rheanan is a favorite girl name
I love your work! thank you for the lovely giveaway - good luck w/ the new family addition - I love the names Krista and Simon.
I follow with Bloglovin!
I love the bright pillow cover. So very pretty. Naming a baby is one of the hardest things, best wishes for your family.
Love the pillow. I think Charlotte is going to be a popular name this next year.
We named our 2 baby girls Pearl and Helen, so of course I love both those names! If they had been boys they would have been Ike, and Clark.
Gosh, what fun, enjoy the new arrival! :)
Congrats! My girls are Eleanor and Laurel.
I am following you on IG, google, and bloglovin. Crossing my fingers and toes. I could sure use a pick me up!

I love your quilts!
I love your color choices on your quilts, especially the star quilt! I always struggle with colors (but I am primarily clothes sewer and have only done a few quilts).
As far as baby names, I strongly suggest not picking a non-traditional spelling. My daughter's name is Liisa (traditional Estonian spelling since I am Estonian) but in the US where we live we get corrected all the time. Umm, yes, I actually do know how to spell my 9-year-old daughter's name. Same with my own name, Anu. It always gets corrected and I have to spell it every time someone asks my name. It gets old.
That said, I am sure at the right moment the right name will come to you :)
Love it!So colorful,lovely colors and patterns too.Your work is amazing!lovely giveaway,thank you for the chance to win it.
Baby names are tough. I work in pediatrics, so I've seen a lot of names! As soon as I think a name is interesting and unusual, I see it everywhere!
Love this pillow and the matching quilt. For a boy: Noah, Ashley, Oliver or Alexander. For a girl: Molly or Madeleine.
Congratulations! You're nearly there!
I can share my kid's names: Hana and Conor
I like Irish names (dad is Irish), like Laoise (Leesha), Cuisle (cushla) for girls. Ciaran (Kiran) for boy…

Your pink star quilt is gorgeous. I'm hopeless with names but currently like Lily and Olivia for a girl, and Thomas and Matthew for a boy. Being 9 months pregnant is like being a beached whale - I remember it well especially crawling around on the floor trying to layer a quilt!

Baby names - my mother gave me & my brother "boring" names so that they are easy for people to spell (this didn't quite hold up for the next two kids!) Ruth is a favorite; if I had a daughter I would think about naming her Lillian, but that's just because I knew a Lillian.
