Little Bit here, Little Bit there

I did a little bit of quilting today... just can't show pic because it's a Christmas gift and in case someone finds out about my blog and decides to check it out, I don't want to spoil the surprise.
  After finishing it, I made another gift that didn't require any quilting on it.... then I set to work on making a little elephant pin cushion.   It's really cute and I'm glad I finally got around to making it - don't think I'll make another one, though - unless I enlarge the pattern.  The pattern is by Heather Bailey and called Effie and Ollie elephant.

It was just one of those days when I just felt like 'playing'... I slept until about 10:30 this morning, waking up just before receiving a call informing me that one of our long time members of the quilt guild passed away Friday.  We knew it was coming, but I don't think we were really prepared; I know I wasn't.  I'm grateful that she's no longer in pain, but I'm sure going to miss her.   Her memorial service will be Tuesday and I told hubby that I'll be going.
