It has been raining all morning...a nice gentle rain with some thunder in the background. Doesn't that make you want to curl up with a good book or do some stitching? The rain is much needed and the temperature is in the low 70's, so much better than 2 weeks ago! Saturday, I was able to work in my flower beds, but today is sewing room time!
Many of you have heard of Quilts for Kids, if not check out their website. This is my finished quilt that is washed and ready to send out. I love the kit they sent me...the black and white striped border is something I would not have thought of. Right now they are in need for quilts for boys, so I have another one cut out from some of my own fabrics...it has motorcycles on it. The little quilts work up very quickly, and I do a simple meandering all over.

It's still summer, but I am in the mood for fall. I have dug out a little wool kit that I bought last year...it is so cute! It's a Pumpkin table mat by Lisa Bongean. This afternoon I am tracing off the pattern, and will have it ready to sit and stitch while we sit on the deck this evening. There are a some wool projects in the Primitive Quilts magazine that are inticing me as well, so I have been pulling out wool to make a few of these as well. I feel like I always need to have something to do while watching TV, or I think I am wasting my time...what about you?
Hope you have a pieceful week!
