An easy project in progress today: finishing up five pillowcases for four great-nieces and one great-nephew. Barring distractions (and I am easily distracted), they should be an easy finish for today as two are finished already and three are cut, ready to sew:
January brings some sewing fun:
1) Judy L’s UFO Challenge (orange button on the right for more info). Since the tops are already done, this is a two-fer month for me: great-niece Hannah’s bumble bee quilt and Summer’s 1910 repro quilt. (You can click on the 2012 tab at the top of this page for a look at my UFO list with some pictures)
2) I’m participating in Vicki Welsh’s & Judy L’s Color Palette Challenge (click on the color wheel button in the right column for more info). The colors for January are especially pretty. I tried to re-create the colors in my header (the sage, dusty plum, blue), but it’s a poor attempt on my part. I definitely want to make something this month with those colors. I’m thinking those colors would be especially nice for clothing, but I’m still deciding…
And since we’re on the Texas Gulf, a picture from a walk this week:

I like the beach picture! Can’t hardly wait to do all the things I couldn’t do last year and that is ONE OF THEM.
I did pillowcases for Christmas this year for the g’kids and their friends. All matched to their interests. It was very fun and well received by all. Toni
