Homemade for Christmas

There are a couple of things that I made as Christmas gifts.  The towel is a wrap that I made, and two matching cosmetic bags.  The other is a pillow -- which is homely, I think, but has sentimental value.

My dad made the blocks before he died.  I taught him to quilt years ago!!  Anyway, he got really good at log cabin blocks and wanted to make something different, but the points on things just eluded him, especially since I was trying to teach him over the phone.  Anyway, they are treasures, and I put some of them together to make a pillow for my son, who so loved his grandpa.  It suits my dad's sense of "use it up!" and it also will comfort my son.  So homely pillow, here it is!
