Hi there. This post will give you a teeny tiny bit of my background. So here we go....I think of myself as a good big sister and aunt etc. etc. I am a very good and supportive friend and I am in a very loving lifetime reationship. I am a lifetime crafter who will try any craft at least once but mainly a quilter. I believe mainly a quilter due to the support of this group. I've been hanging out and learning from so many of you for I believe, more than 10 years. But the key information you need to know from me today is
I CAN'T CARRY A TUNE IN A BASKET
So, welcome to my day at the Music hop
I really can't carry a tune at all. Friends and family shut me down on a regular basis when exposed to my attempts so figuring out what to do for this hop was a wee bit of a challenge. And then the obvious answer popped into my head.
As I previously mentioned
I can't carry a tune in a basket
I haven't made a throw pillow in ages and this one went together with no issues until the very last minute when I went to put the pillow in and realized I never got one. So for these pictures I stuffed my pillow case with batting scraps, not exactly the look I was going for but it hits the nail on its head.
I used the same fabric on the back that I used for the background for the basket.
I loved how it turned out and I so enjoyed running with a silly idea.
Below find the list of all of the participants in this hop. I'm looking forward to lots of great ideas and additions to my to do list from this very talented group..
Thanks for stopping by.

Oh you made me smile! Your project is great. Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteCute project with a very clever them to it! Love your creativity!
ReplyDeleteA music pillow, how fun.
ReplyDeleteLOL, that's clever! Cute design and darling fabric too.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the same basket as you. Lol I don't create music myself, but I sure do love and appreciate it. Your pillow is fantastic.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful idea. just by looking at this I can see what you were trying to achieve. If you dont mind I will be coping it. my husband and I love music. he plays acoustic guitar, electric guitar and sings in the choir at church. me on the other hand, I used to play the piano and the alto saxophone. but singing was so enjoyable, but carry a tune? well lets just say I dont join the choir. thanks for sharing and for inspiring
ReplyDeleteAwww, thank you for the giggle. Thank fabric is a definite love and I love your pillow. It's such a great conversation starter. You are so clever and always amaze me with your ideas. Thanks for hopping with us!!!
ReplyDeleteClever idea, and the pillow looks so cute. I also cannot carry a tune in a basket.
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest idea, Selina. You nailed it!!!
ReplyDeletelol what a great way to represent your, um, vocal challenges!
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is beautiful and funny all in one...such a cute idea! One of the things I love about you is your willingness to try different things and share them with us. I've learned a lot from you! My singing voice is sketchy at times, but I do try when it is necessary. The Monkey Boys all sing so beautifully that it often gets me teary-eyed. Thanks for sharing, Selina!
ReplyDeleteLOL!! You are so funny. I am thinking my family thinks the same way about me and my tunes, but I have to say, my shower has never complained! tee hee hee I love your pillow and I know it's going to make you smile every time you see it!
ReplyDeleteNot everyone can be blessed with every skill. You are definitely blessed with a creative mind and some awesome hand sewing skills. Love the pillow. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI resemble that pillow, too! Forbidden to sing at my own confirmation by stern nuns....can't carry a tune. I am laughing at the way you immortalized this - great idea!
ReplyDeleteHilariously beautiful! Way to turn a loss into a gain!
ReplyDeleteI love this, it made me laugh. Very clever idea~
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute pillow! Love the notes dancing around the basket. I can't carry a tune either, but that pillow is a lovely tribute to music.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI can relate!!! I can only carry a tune in my fingers! Love your pillow!
ReplyDeleteI love your "take" on the challenge. I am with you - cannot sing to save my life.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I feel your pain and resemble your remarks about carrying a tune. Super cute pillow, though! :o))
ReplyDeleteThat music (notes) fabric is wonderful. I, too, can't carry a tune in a basket. Your pillow is excellent and very NOTE worthy, too!
ReplyDeleteI loved your creative and unexpected idea. Your pillow case is very cute.
ReplyDeleteThis is just too cute - I love it!
ReplyDeleteYou carried this tune very nicely. congrats!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and your pillow is adorable! I do think you carried your tune very well here! Thanks for sharing, Selina!
ReplyDeleteI think it was a great idea and am glad you put the words into a picture/quilt/pillow.
