Here's the pillow I made for the neighbor girl. It went together pretty quick last night. Looking at the pic now, I can't get over how the bone in his mouth looks.... almost like it was added onto the pic when I made the pillow but it wasn't. I quilted the back of the pillow using poly batting to make it extra poofy... so cuddly. Accidentally sewed the back onto the front with the print upside down, but I don't think anyone will notice if I don't point it out. :)
Now, while getting projects ready for the guild sew in this weekend, I'll be starting to clean up my sewing room, cutting 2 1/2" squares from scraps to use on the Goodnight Irene scrappy quilt that we started this past Oct. with Toni Ivy. I'd like to get the quilt done before Toni returns for another 'class' in April, but it has to stay a 'sideline' for right now; I have other quilts that I need to get to first.
I'm thinking I really need to make up a list of all that I want to get done in the next month or two... the Quilt of Valor for Tonya in Mississippi, the Scooby Doo quilt for John in Scotland, plus at least 5 tops that are still waiting to be quilted. My plan for the sew in is to finish appliqueing the gingerbread people quilt blocks; I think I have six of the twelve to do yet. I ordered some pretty candy stripe fabric for sashing and inner borders for it... not sure what I'm going to use for the outer border yet. Need to find backing fabric, too.
Today, it's running errands day... have to drive into Lansing to get gift card for hubby's daughter in law then off to Walmart to get groceries, along with paying bills either online, via check in mail or at the bank.
Hubby's up... I'm off to put the morning drops in his eyes ( required after cataract surgery).
MERRY CHRISTMAS
