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.
older than my daughter (who just turned 13). This Sunday I was going to post an update. I even had a video, but can not post videos unless I upgrade. Might have to consider that. I thought I was going to finish on Sunday, but had sewing machine issues for about three hours. Was just about ready to give up, when I just re threaded the machine and Wala, it worked. Felt like a total idiot.
I am happy that I decided to do something other than meandering. I just have to remember not to nitpick. I did do meandering around the lanterns, but everywhere else I did Bamboo. Good thing 
Well, once again, my quilting ADD took over. Worked on a multitude of projects instead of spending all my time on my one monthly project. I did spend a little time on it, but I made the mistake of doing a little shopping, which makes my mind wander to other projects.
Well, I am at the hospital making hexies again. Today 
time. I still have two more pieces to make for the entire bedroom set, so at least it is productive.
nightstand. Two more to go and all of the bedroom furniture will have some protection. So, you can tell this one is not for my side of the bed, although, I love the dog bone fabric, and of course Ohio state. The blue plaid is actually a cotton shirt that got a hole in it. It was one of Kevin’s favorites (and mine), so I decided to cut it up and use it somewhere else. Worked perfectly and was 100% cotton. All though he did look at me like I was some kind of weirdo when I cut the arm off his shirt and started to use it for something other than a rag.
instead of sewing down the corners, they glued it. Never thought of that and it saved a ton of time. You can see here on the back how I 
sewed most of them and then started using my glue stick. Looks the same on the front and once it is quilted, who is going to know? Has me considering some other shapes for my “Sit on the couch” projects.
many many years ago. I talked about the picture Mom painted on fabric, but failed to post a picture of it. I realized this as I stared at it lying in bed yesterday. She certainly did not want to go to a quilt show, but found that she really enjoyed herself. It is a memory I will always cherish.
As I go through the many many boxes of miscellaneous quilt boxes (like it’s Christmas for me). I am coming across projects that I started and never finished for whatever reason.
receipts. Whatever you want. It was fairly easy, considering there was a zipper in it (which initially scared me). I obviously have friends and family that are cat lovers, even though I live in a “Dog” house (Ha! Pun). I will put some candy and/or lip gloss and give this to a friend for her birthday.
I actually completed something. The English Paper Piecing Dog Bone Hexie Dresser scarf is complete. I even went as far so to clean off my dresser and put it in its home. Three more to go, but they are all smaller pieced. Two for nightstands and one for the tall Dresser. Overall, I enjoyed English paper Piecing. I had never done it before and started it when my 
and hands. I just about have one of the nightstand scarves done also. As for the quilting, I don’t hate it (like usual). As I mentioned in a previous post, I would choose a different marking method (Not the clingy plastic wrap). The dog bones I quilted actually resemble dog bones. How about that. Shocking. It might lead me to get more adventuresome with my quilting. Who knows.
