    COLD!!

    December 22, 2008 - By 

    Every morning I’ve been waking up to find this at my front door.

    Today I made a draft stop to hopefully help…my only worry is that it will be froze to the door in the morning.

    The curtains in my son’s room and the ones on the patio door have both been froze to the 3M window kits we put on them. I can’t even imagine how cold it would be if they weren’t on!

    I filled the fabric tube with old towel scraps and used baggies filled with rice and beans. Last time I made one of these we had a cat so I had kitty litter laying around.

    Another quilt

    October 27, 2008 - By 


    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.
