Here's the letter M for those waiting patiently. Woven ~N~ Spun (http://www.wovenspun.com/free_patterns.htm) has given me permission to post the picture of it here. She'll be putting the pattern up soon so look for it under Original Patterns. I just tested the pattern for her. I went by her pattern exactly except for the edging (I sc around piecing the 2 pieces together). I used Red Heart Soft Baby in color Kitten which is a sport weight yarn, using about 2/3 of a 6oz skein. The pillow measures approx. 17" wide at widest part (top of M) x 15" tall x roughly 5" thick. It took almost 1.5 (12oz) bags of fiberfill to fill it (I used Soft Touch Poly-fil Supreme, 8oz bags)

Does the picture look blurry to you? It's not supposed to!

For more of the alphabet and M pattern, go to Kimberly's site.... Woven ~N~ Spun (http://www.wovenspun.com/free_patterns.htm)
Thank you, Kimberly for letting me test this pattern. It was so easy & quick to do. :ty

Very cute.:c9 Kids would love pillows like this. You could give every family member one for watching movies or TV or somesuch event. maybe a camping trip or other family vacation.

Wouldn't they be too cute to give as birthday gifts, newborn gifts, Christmas gifts (my kids are all getting one for Christmas along with lots of other teens I know).

Thanks Cheryl. You did a fantastic job and i love the colors. My kids actually came up with the idea of making just one and pinning it to the wall and spelling out a name instead of making it into a pillow. I thought that was a cute idea too.

You know, Kimberly, I had the same thought when the first half was done and I thought it would be great to add to a sweatshirt as an initial sweatshirt. There are so many things you could do with just one side of the letter. All of the letters even. I had even thought to spell out my kids names with the letters....it would be a lot of letters but wouldn't it look cute on a bed?!?!?!

Love the sweatshirt idea...but oooh...what about if you made just a basic tote pattern and then attached the one initial and then FULL (felt) it! :hook

Congrats to your daughter. I know what an accomplishment that is! :clap
I am glad everyone is enjoying these letters. I admit I have been having a little too much fun (is that possible) creating them and have become quite obsessed
