Okay...update. It is now almost Father's Day and I will finally have this finished! Took way too long but go thru periods where I just don't want to work one I need to get finished. I must just be lazy but I have been trying to work on other ones to justify having so many going at one time.
Turned out great!

I decided around Christmas I would make my middle son a nice flannel quilt for his birthday which was a month later. Who am I kidding? The top is all finished including a scrap edge I haven't done before....colors are much brighter than shown here. If I was talented enough to design fabrics, I would always
make a square a square. Not 10 & 3/4 x 11 but either 10 & 3/4 square or 11 square. Yes, I did measure before cutting the solid squares but, of course, I made 2 colors 10 3/4 square and that does not work. Hence, the scrap edge. It was kind of easy and fun and I may make a storage cover for it with the leftovers. Hopefully, I will get it down before all of the cold weather is gone because it is definitely a winter quilt.

I have made several of these for kids but this one is bigger for my youngest son....grown son. I didn't get his done (top is finished)for Christmas this year so I got him a really nice fleece blanket for now. I made him a nice moose quilt last year. I do have an extra one of the kid size for next year. I actually finished 3 quilts that I gave away this year. So, three down is not too bad.

This is a cute one that is almost finished...just a little more hand stitching
and the border. I don't know why I even started it because it's too small for a grownup and too big for a wall hanging. I always liked the card trick pattern so maybe that was why. By the time any new babies come around again, it'll be too old!

This has taken me to long! White fabric is a fluffy white cotton from the 50s with batting back so they are puffy like proper snowmen. It's pretty big but the problem has been making up my mind what to dress them in. First I was going to make cute little "country fabrics" for their scarves until I figured out how much work that would actually be for the 80 or so people. Second, I decided to crochet little lacy scarves but also changed my mind. Third, a pinwheel pattern stitched for the tummy. In the end, I went with stitched hearts which enables me to also justify my collection of hundred year old cookie cutters of various sizes. After I finally started doing that, I realized that I could have had #1 plan almost finished...oh, well. It'll be really cute eventually.

This is one that will be super simple..Daisy Kingdom squares. Hard part will be actually doing it but it's a good project for bobbin emptying. I'll just keep it handy and eventually get it going. My sewing machine is put away for a while until I tend to other matters but will be back in action soon.

I used a little deception in this flannel pillow for my youngest son. He needed a bigger size case so in order to use this particular piece, I added a brown stripe on each end for length. I told him that was a good pattern! haha

2 more pillows for another teenage girl...hope they like these!

One regular pillow case plus a smaller checkerboard throw pillow I made the other night...this is one of a teenage girl. Great way to use up leftovers from my safe house projects.

How a sewing machine works!
