Drying up the tears...

I made a new pillowcase for my 6 year old granddaughter to help ease the pain that occurred when her little sister received this case for her 3rd birthday a couple of months ago.  (Yes, there were some tears.)


The newest case for my oldest granddaughter is shown here.




She loves it and uses it every night.  I told her I think it is a little more grown-up from her lollipop pillowcase shown here...


that got lost in their move (to a new house) last summer.

A Scrap Quilt

It's been forever since I have posted.  And I am weeks behind on my blog reading.  Life happens!  But currently all is well and I have been sewing!

I've been thinking to myself that I need to get busy and make quilts to giveaway to people who need the comfort of a quilt.  I have plenty of scraps to make a few quilts so I just began working a little bit at a time, cutting here, piecing there.  I am at the design board stage with this quilt.  Here is what I have so far although I am not done with the arrangement.


I just had enough scraps to come up with this 55 by 65 throw.  It has a fall/winter feel to it.  I found some coordinating fabric online to use for the back, and it's been ordered.

As always, thanks for stopping by!  Happy Thanksgiving!!  :o)
