It's really hard to find goo quality cases. I find mine at thrift stores because the older ones are far nicer.
Mary Ann, great job! Cindy

The pillowcases are beautiful!!!
As far as finding blank pillowcases, why not make your own? They are so easy to do. The blank ones that I've found don't seem to be of very high quality fabric and are stiff.

I have had some luck finding plain pillowcase without a panel at dollar stores. I also got a McCall's pattern a few years back that I use over and over. I think I downloaded the tranfer for those pillowcase from one of the free pattern sites. If you do a google search for free pillocase embrodiery you should have quite a few pop up

Hello Mary Ann, Your pillowcases are some of the prettiest I've seen. I have made several sets through the years but haven't seen your beautiful pattern before. Can it be purchased somewhere? I would love to have it! Tracy |

Mary Ann:
Your pillow cases are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the address to the Pattern Bee web site. Now I'm more motivated to stitch than to work today. |

Maryann, They are lovely. I am planning to do a few pillowcases myself over the summer. I have made many before, but usually with my embroidery machine, not by hand. Great job! |

Very nice!! I think you did a great job. No one sees the back on pillowcases, right? I think they are great!

Maryann,
They are beautiful!!! What wonderful work you have done!!!
I have a collection of my grandmothers that I want to use to make a quilt because they are used & I thought this would be a great way to use them. I thought that using the crocheted edging along the top of the embrodiered piece would nicely frame them with sashing between each one.

Thank you for the compliments...guess you ladies didn't notice the stitches that are already pulling loose...this is a problem I have as well as the backside being an absolute mess of tangles!!!
Alee - check out this site if you haven't already-
www.patternbee.com
There are freebees
These pillow cases are not for the swap I am still thinking about what I am going to do for that. These are to go with a friends bedroom quilt and curtains...I promised them to her almost a year ago!

Very Beautiful! I am impressed!
I need to find an embroidery pattern for pillow cases. Or maybe I will keep it simple and just do tatting on them?
