My "Make Me Laugh" Throw Pillow

There are two designers on Spoonflower: Amy_G and Whimzwhirled.  Each designer has her own distinctive style and they both produced designs that made me laugh out loud.  So I decided to sew a "Make Me Laugh" Pillow.

For one side, I chose a fat quarter of Amy_G's "Flying Tin Cans brought to you by Can-Do Airlines!"  printed on Spoonflower Kona cotton.  Here's a pic:

For the other side of my "Make Me Laugh" Pillow I chose Whimzwhirled's "Pick Me" design in a fat quarter of Spoonflower Kona cotton.

Look at that frog.

Lots of talented designers on Spoonflower.  Take a look.

Aviation

Spoonflower is having a contest I can relate to.  Some contests don't appeal to me, but then there are others like the Extinct Animals contest or the Cake Collage contest that I find exciting.  There is an upcoming contest about aviation which I knew immediately I wanted to enter.  I have an old picture of my great grandfather's showing him and other relatives standing next to an airplane that had landed in my great grandfather's pasture in Cowley County, Kansas.  The picture is from the first or second decade of the 1900s because my grandmother saw it when she was a young girl and she was born in 1900.  I created a design using that picture and the pillow shown above is what I made from the fat quarter of "Look What Fell from the Sky."  The designs can be viewed in my "Carson" collection on Spoonflower.  

I made this video about a year ago built around the photograph featured in my "Aviation" design.
