Hi there...
thought you'd like to know what i did today, the first Wednesday of 2011. i made this cute little reindeer. Barb Herron - a fantastic teacher of all types of crafts taught a class how to make these pins out of - you guessed it, puzzle pieces. And you always wanted to know how to recycle puzzles that had pieces missing. There you have it.
Mom and i also (with lots of help from Phyllis) put together the quilt top that Mom embroidered last winter/spring/summer with the stuffing and quilt back. We also quilted around the 97 X 96 inch top once, so that it will stay in position, then brought it home set up in a quilt frame and quilt at our leisure. Didn't get a picture of it, but will include one sometime. It was a bit warmer here today - over 60 F, but obviously didn't have a lot of time to enjoy the sun. Maybe tomorrow. Thanks for listening!
