With the cold weather settling in, I really was under pressure to get this one done.
She loves it and told me that it’s so snuggly warm.

I just had to share with you the awesome cart my husband made from scraps of lumber and spare parts around the house. I wish we’d taken pictures along the process but we completed forgot.I painted the cart with Home Depot “OOPS” paint after he filled then sanded the seams and screw holes.
I’m excited about having fresh herbs all winter and the prospect of starting my own seedlings for next years garden.
**I have to mention that it wasn’t just scrap lumber, it was reclaimed lumber from a catapult that my husband and the neighbor kid built one weekend this past summer to shoot water balloons.** -
I have to preface this with the fact that I DID NOT piece this quilt top myself.My mom picked it up years ago at an estate sale or maybe and auction. Since my folks are trying to pare down their possessions, mom gifted me with this quilt top.
My daughter loved it!
In keeping with our family’s continued effort to renew, reuse and recycle; I am using a twin flat sheet for the backing of the quilt and an old fleece/wool type blanket for the batting. Since the batting is quite thick I’m just tying the quilt instead of hand or machine quilting. I will be sewing the backing up over the front as the binding though.
