I DID IT--got some more string finishes for the String challenge --
I made some much needed hot mats and hot holders---
Like I said -- much needed--- I seemed to have a whole pile of these red,blue,green strips in a ball in the basket of scraps--and as the kitchen is red, white, and black--I decided these would work nicely and a little "sparkle" to the kitchen--I also liked the size of the "burnt" one above--so made some that size!!!!
And I got this project done--
A cute pillow--
For either a kitty or a doggie that will be coming to live here one of these days!!!!
Now I really liked this project--first it was easy---just sewed alot of long "odd" ball strips together from the scrap basket---second--it was a way for me to justify what to do with the smaller pieces!!!!!
I have had a real problem with what to do with all those little bits of pieces---I just hate throwing them out and they are really too small sometimes to bother with---and then there is those small pieces of batting--that I keep--and then when I go to square up a quilt top and cut off that edging of fabric and batting--I hate to throw that away--but "hey" one can keep just soooo much!!!
BUT now I will collect them in a basket and make more "four legged" friendly beds and donate them to my local SPCA---so thanks Stephine from loftcreations.blogspot.com for coming up with this challenge--even if I had only gotten one other project made in the six months---I now have 9 to my name---way to go!!!
I will be back later for more of today's doing!!!
IT IS LATER---
yep I am back--
another finish--
here is the Gifts of Grace block for June--
and--
this is the last blocks for Bouquet by Jenny--I did get them started--but--month ran out---so will have to put them on July's list!!!!
And I did get this done this afternoon---
Yep--a whole wagon of packages ready to be "wheeled" to the Post Office tomorrow morning---
SOOO
here's another little "game" for you!!!!
GUESS how much this will cost me to mail???/
Two packages are going out the country---the rest are US ones---leave guesses in US dollars---and yep--there's a prize for the one closest to the actual amount!!!!
And tomorrow is the 1st of July and my FALL challenge starts---
Here is my 1st project--
It is a felt project--and tomorrow I will be ordering the felt of it!!!
I only have "4" of you signed up so far---SOOOO---you can do that on this post too if you decide you want to--the guidelines are on this site--di-workbaskettimecard.blogspot.com
So let's have some fun here!!!!!!
It sure has "felt" like Fall here today--only about 55 degrees out--and the air has been chilly--I even had to go put "socks" on!!!
****Don't forget the contest in yesterday's post--go there to leave that answer--*****
Have fun tomorrow--a new month begins!!!
Hugs, Di
