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.
Happy Sewing

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.
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.
Happy Quilting
I had some time off, but I was not off during the entire holiday season like I am used to. I user a lost (most) of my vacation time with 
me and one on my lap. This is a great travel project because everything I need fits into my little dog bag (of course). In my photo, you can see my Ruger. This was my late Husbands “Hunting Dog”. He weights six pounds and is scared of ants, so I am not sure what he would hunt. Cute as a button though. He is the only male dog in my herd, so he thinks any female is his. He frequently rolls all over me as if he is making me his and then gives Kevin the evil eye. Miss Moka’s paws are on the table where they should not be.
