Strippy Quilt














As if I don't have enough projects going on, I joined the
Strippy Club at Suze's Quilt shop....Saturday Club is only
 once a month and Strippy club is every other month.
Think I can do it  I loved the pattern as soon as I saw it .
 It is called Gallantly Streaming. I picked out the purple
 /lavender fabrics. They looked so Springy Can't wait to get
started. Stpips are already cut and ready to go.
 Most is chain pieced ,so it should go together quickly.




Hassock Gone Wrong














What started out to be a hassock for my sewing /computer room
has now become a beanbag type seat for the grandkids.
In the picture in my quilt magazine it shows this normal looking hassock
Sure didn't  look this big in the picture. As I cut it out I thought the pieces
 were a bit big,  but I kept going . I was using bigger seam allowances
 after all, not than the usual 1/4 inch of a quilt.   Well after putting it together
and using 9lbs. of fill if not more...this is what it looks like. Wow !!
It is too soft for my intended use. The grandkids were happy to take it over
 and plopped it in front of the TV.and thanked me for their new softie seat.
Guess I'll be shrinking the pattern down to make me one the size I need.
Good thing is I still have enough of this cute elephant fabric to make it.

E- Reader Cover

Made yet another E reader cover .I had already
made a cover for my DIL Wendy's Nook , but she
 has the Nook tablet and the cover is too short .
 She liked this with the dog paws on it sooo . She
likes the bright prints.
