What I've been working on

I've been working on little projects. Instant gratifications. First up... my friendship bag swap. It's very cute. I made a tissue packet holder/cover for it and I added two fat quarters inside. I MAY make a key fob too but not sure yet. I hope my secret partner likes it. She had no preferences for colors or whatever and her blog... she speaks more about what colors her 13 year old daughter likes versus what her likes are. So I'm going out on a limb with my bag.

A couple of pillowcases for Punkie. I bought these as kits from the quilt shop I visited in Texas. They are very cute and the brown and blue one is being used right now.

And since my husband was feeling left out, I made him two pillowcases for him when he's working nights at the firehouse. I covered both his skills - construction and firefighting. They were a big hit when he brought them in and I need to make another firefighting one. There is a mentally challenged gentleman that visits the firehouse every Saturday and hangs out. The crews give him small jobs to do and he (Mike) enjoys being there. He saw Chris's pillowcase and really likes it. Chris asked if I could make him one. So this weekend I will head back to the store to grab more fabric and make another.

And yesterday, I made myself a pot holder/hot pad. Just messing around with some fabric that I bought over the summer. It's cute. I'm debating about making more and give them out as Christmas gifts. Everybody could use new pot holders. LOL.

I love the ant fabric on the back!

Sharon did an awesome job quilting my sister in law's quilt and I've been working on getting the binding sewn down. I have a side and a half to finish and then I will take its picture. It's awesome and I love it now. Very happy looking!

That's all from me today.

Enjoy your day!
