I haven't been doing too much lately. I want to re-organize my sewing room and I have
tried to get started but haven't really accomplished much. I have so many projects started........
I have gone through some of my Christmas fabric stash, I have a huge tub of only Christmas fabric,
and I have taken out some reds and greens and started cutting them up for a tumbler quilt.
The rest I'm debating about donating to Goodwill,
I don't think I will ever get to using these
fabrics.
My eyes were bigger that my time to make quilts.
I'll keep some of the bigger pieces to use
for backing on the tumbler quilt,
since it is for me I can have a "pieced" backing, I won't care.
And it would be great not to spend any more money for a backing.
I did finish something I've been wanting to do for years. I made one of the pillows
that Better Homes and Gardens has in their magazine every year.
I made it out of wool felt, and I loved working with it!
I'm a little upset that my JoAnn's doesn't carry as much wool felt
as they used to.( I haven't been happy with JoAnn's for quite awhile now anyway!)
As I was working on the pillow I was telling myself that I could do
the same design in cotton fabric and get the same great look.
So if I do any of the other designs I will probably make them out of cotton fabric.
Or I will have to purchase wool felt online.
Anyway, I'm rambling(it's late) here's the photo
of the finished pillow.
Not the greatest photo, sorry.
There are two cute red birds on his hat. I love them!
I'm thinking that I may add buttons to the eyes.
I got the plaid wool for the scarf from a wool suit
jacket I bought at Goodwill a few years ago. I didn't
felt it, just cut it out and appliqued it on the snowman.
I need a name for this guy, will have to put on my
thinking cap to give him a cute name.
