I have not been a very responsible blogger I know, but I haven't really had anything really interesting to blog about. Life has been going on and I have been trying really hard to keep up and maintain my head above the fray!
I have though managed to do some quilting---that is what has helped me "keep up." Every Christmas I make pillowcases for my grandchildren. Last year I embroidered their names on them, not so this year. The material is rather busy and I think the letters would get lost.
These are for the "Grands"---The little snowmen are for the girls, the reindeer for the boys, although really they would work for either I think. Both of them have the peppermint for the cuff---you see how this might be too busy. I made a total of seven.
These are for my bed and the guest room. A total of six. The print is scrap. I put it on the back of a quilt I made a couple of months ago and the scraps were enough to make the cuff on the cases. The other fabric was from my fabric closet so the only fabric I purchased was the fabric for the kids pillowcases and the cuff. A total of 13 pillowcases!!!!!
I also cut out and finished three more donation quilts. I love making these quilts and in the process using up some of my stash! I even have enough batting scraps for the three quilts. As soon as I quilt them I will post a picture.
I am going to be spending this week-end cleaning my house. I have company coming on Monday and didn't want to start too early since from experience, it will just get dirty again.
Well I just wanted to "check in". Have a great week-end!
