I actualy got alot done this weekend. I mailed all my swap items to all my swap partners. I went to the fabric store on Friday, I realy shoudn't do this but I like the fabric store. At Gail K Fabrics I found the perfect backing fabric for my decorative pillows, a couple one yard peices of wool suiting, and a neon green peice of linen. Then I went to the quilting store, Intown Quilters, and purused the sale room in the basement for like an hour. You know its bad when the sales people keep asking if your ok. I got ten 1/4 yard peices and a 5 $ stuff bag of scraps. (if you can call these scraps, they're pretty big peices) I went home and made the pillows, made some coasters for friends for the holidays, washed the green linen which is for a coworkers cloth lunch napkins. And made a Peanut out of Last Minute Patchwork Gifts. Which if you don't own you should run out and buy right this minute. Now!! go! I'll still be here when you get back. Ok anyway, the coasters and the stuffed elephant are from the book. I'm making a stuffed elephant for the children of every friend we have. (with kids under five) so I should make five more of them, I already made one for me. I realy like this book. I'm a real stickler for paying money for, well anything. I've got this price range that I see acceptable. For example I don't like to pay more than 20 for a hardback book. This one was more than that at the book store, but I couldn't help it. I bought it anyway and I'm definatly getting full usage out of it. Oh and if you want to make a peanut of your own, it only takes a quarter yard, not the half yard she says in the book. So far thats the only flaw I've found. So here's whats left...
5 peanut the elephants
1 handbag
1 grocery bag keeper
2 cloth grocery bags
1 set of cloth napkins
and two more sets of as yet unidentified gifts
Thats not to bad right? :) I'll take pictures and post as I go.
