Cheap Sheets, and a Bible Cover

 A pile of fabric from Goodwill...$10 worth.  I think they were sheets, but they will become quilts...eventually. It may not look like much in the picture, but that pile was up to my knees!

 

A work in progress....it was supposed to be done before Christmas, it's close, but it needs to be basted and quilted.  And really, it looks different than this now because I added sashing between the blocks.

 

More potholders that have been gifted.

This is a bible cover made for my grandmother using a Dresden Plate for either side and braided handles.

As I said before....I've been REALLY busy.  Even little projects take time.  And soon you'll get to see the big projects that have taken most of my time.

Sneak Peek

 Here is a sneak peek at some Christmas gifts.  You'll get to see the final projects after they've been gifted.

Just for Me!

This is a quilt I made all for me.  It's a footie quilt.  Single person size, just tall enough for me to use when I want to snuggle on the sofa, or in the recliner, and keep my feet warm.  When I don't want to use the footie pocket, there are snaps to keep it closed.  I love it's simplicity and it's beautifully colorful holiday fabrics.

Back

The line of printed fabrics are where the pocket snaps closed.  The white fabric is super snuggly flannel.  I just quilted 1/4 inch on either side of the seaming.  This was a very quick project I did back in October to get ready for the cooler weather.  It is slightly smaller than a twin size quilt, but large enough to tuck under myself when sitting in a chair.  It has been well loved.

I know everyone has their own tried and true recipe for tuna salad, but have always loved the way my dad makes it, so I thought I'd share our recipe with you.

2 Tbs. finely chopped sweet or purple onions
1-2 roma tomatoes diced

1 tsp. celery salt
3 Tbs. mayonaise
2-3 tsp. yellow mustard
