Here's the finished pillow. I had some old ( like 20 year old) pillow ticking fabric that was very nice for a beginner like me to work with. My Mom did most of the sewing when we had the gift basket store to work and she's very good. The little sachets I made were hand stitched.
My next pillow will get hand stitched in a less obvious place like the inside area where the back of your neck would rest.
I used it and it works every bit as good as the old one. I'm happy with it.
Then we have the latest basil picture. Notice that there are 2 varieties in the pot? Lettuce leaf and Mammoth Leaf. I like the Mammoth type for looks but it's the flavor that will decide what I'll grow next year.
Last but not least, Guardian of the parsley root.

Wow! You didn't take your time! Congratulations and good work!
Thanks! I really wanted a new pillow ;)
love the material! unfortunatley i didn't like the basil I grew this year, it was cinnamon basil and I just didn't like the taste.
Claire: I've grown that before. It really can't be used like the basil we're used to. I really like lemon basil for fish and chicken dishes.
Lemon thyme is even better. Turns chicken soup into a different meal.
Thanks re: material. I wanted to use it for slip covers on a love seat and chair, but here we are 20 years later just getting the sewing machine! I was busy any how with 4 kids.
