She is cute. What did you use to add weight and make her stand up?
Once again I am making seasonal pillows for my grand daughter. Then of course I made hearts for the heart swap, and lots and lots of Valentine's.I need to make my mini aprons for that swap. Oh yes, I pieced all of the 6 1/2 squares together, and ended up with a king sized quilt top. I just drew Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Bill squares, for the kindergarten kids to color. The teacher and I will also have a square. They will become a small quilt or throw. After each child has the opportunity to take the quilt home, to show it off, it will be auctioned off to earn $ for new learning tools. I will make a Star Wars pillow case tonight. One little guy has a birthday tommorrow. So far I have made Spiderman, Hello Kitty, John Deere Tractor, and Barbie pillow cases. I asked them early on what their favorite thing is. |

Thanks Marilyn! I used crush walnut shells for the weight on the bottom.
Pillow cases are addictive. What pattern do you use? I like to use what is called the hot dog pillow method, which reminds me. |

| I am not using a pattern. I use two fabrics, not three. I also make a little bag and they have it to play with after removing their gift. All little children love little bags. |

I'm behind posting on this thread so I will try to catch up.
Carole, cute lil snowwoman. Well Done.
Marilyn, you keep so busy I don't know how you do it all. The pillow cases sound like they would be fun to make.
Today I cut out four mini tea towels out of an old flour sack tea towel. 3" X 4 1/2" allows for 1/4" hem on all sides. Will clue the hems down. I will look through my embroidery transfers to see if there is anything small enough for me to use. If not I will have to draw patterns on the towels.

| I finished the mini tea towels today and must say I think they are so stinky cute. One of my embroidery transfer patterns has small flowers scattered around the patterns to use for testing so I used them. Took a short cut and colored the flowers with colored pens rather than embroidering them. There's room for two more on the banner so I may make a couple more. The hems are glued so there's no sewing. |

Sounds cute, Sara. Can you send me pics and I will post?
Today I need to make my mini aprons for the swap, package up the Heart Swap to send out, address a few more Valentines, and cut up my dog/cat squares. Some of these swaps get me side-tracked, but I love them. Can't wait to see all the mini aprons. Love your idea of mini tea towels, Sara. |

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for what he has done.
Philippians 4:6
Just follow God unquestioningly.
Because you love Him so, for if you trust His judgment there is nothing you need to know.

Carole, that is beautiful! Love those nice bright colors!
I have been working on some small knitting projects trying to get back in the groove.
I am working up to a different knitting project so I can get my second badge for knitting. |

Carole, love the Lorax quilt!!! We are big Dr.Seuss Fans!
I found this at the little antique store across form the post office I go to. I am thinking of making an apron out of it or just using it as a decorative pillow case. It is in mint condition for it's age! The pink skirt is sewn on top of the the pillowcase. Embroidery detail. cost, $8.00, no stains or tears!
