While I know it does not look like much, but since I have had pneumonia, it is pretty monumental. Good thing I got this done earlier in the month or I would not have made it. I have not sewn anything in over a week. That is a sure sign that I am am really sick. Managed to make it to work today, but I am pretty sure by the time the day is over, I will be done and there will be no sewing. I do need to figure out my goal for May though.
This is already on Kevin’s nightstand. I am not sure he recognizes any of this as a shirt he used to wear (blue and white plaid dog bone).
If you haven’t registered for my give away, don’t miss it. See my previous post.
Happy Sewing

This one is older than my daughter (she is the one peaking over the top). That makes it 13+ years and I am pretty sure it may have actually been started in the late 1990’s….It was definitely prior to 2002. I remember the house I was living in when I started this.
pretty. So, I don’t hate the quilting. It was a new venture for me to do something other than meandering. Although there is
helped me to move onto quilting or at least try quilting other designs in my quilts. I have no idea what I am doing it with it. For now, I will hang on to it and wait until the right time to give it away or donate it to charity.
I found this fabric so cute. Could be because I have an addiction to Diet Pepsi. Too bad they did not have diet Pepsi fabric. That would have made it even more awesome for me. I found that I take my English paper piecing projects around with me in Ziploc baggies. Didn’t seem right for a quilter. So I just created this bag. Now I have plenty of room for all my English paper piecing stuff that I haul around whenever I will be waiting somewhere. Can’t stand just doing nothing.
So, this month, I plan on quilting, trimming and binding this piece. This one is for Kevin’s nightstand. These three dog bones are tied to him. The middle one is Ohio State, of course. We (especially Kev) are Ohio State fans. The light colored plain one is actually a shirt he wore that got a tear in it in a place that could not be easily repaired. Since it was a nice shirt and 100% cotton, I figured what the heck. Then the last dog bone is dog bone fabric. I have turned him into a dog lover, so it is appropriate. Not a big giant project like last month, but still something that needs finished. I am still piecing the one for my nightstand and then one for his dresser. I did not use the cling wrap like last time. I created a template and traced my dog bones on it. Seems way better than trying to pick plastic out for hours like I did for the last piece.
