So, This past weekend I got barely anything accomplished. Saturday was the big Ohio State Game. Go Bucks! then Sunday we were at the rental cleaning since we will be getting new tenants this weekend. Very little sewing went on. I did, however manage to complete 2 fidget blankets. My guild was making them for a doctor who gives them to Alzheimer patients. We were just asked to complete the fabric portion. The Doctors office will add all the fidgety items. They sew on socks and elastic bandages and plastic keys and satin ribbon etc… Great idea. I looked them up and they average about $45.00 each. The back needed to be flannel or fleece so it easily stayed on laps and the front could be any combination of scraps. Finished size is approximately 18 by 24 inches. Pretty Simple.
And….The fabric gnome came by again…. Darn that gnome. This time he left me some southwestern prints and colors. Okay, truth be told, I got a $20 gift card from Connecting Threads for renewing my American Quilters Society Membership. Being that renewal was $20 and I got a $20 gift card, how could I go wrong? I ended up getting 8 yards for $28.00. IT was on sale. I can never resist a good sale. I already have a design in mind.
Happy Sewing
Happy Quilting

My good friend in my sewing and quilting group used to make lots of them. Not so much anymore. She had to attach all the fidget stuff herself. It’s a great way to use up fleece and flannels. I’m kind of glad there are no fabric gnomes in my neck of the woods. Have plenty to keep me busy as it is. 🙂 You are quite the deal maker. Those look like awesome colors to work with. Soon? 🙂
