A perfect plan for me! [from Cat Patches blogger, click the button]
I needed to spend a day down there and it was great fun....with a book on tape and NPR.
First I made more of the Union Jack pillows....
Then, I managed to make 9 bibs and one terry bathmat with a border....all for the children and grandchildren!
These are made with fingertip towels....and rib knit fabric. Tutorials (not mine) are available on-line for these wonderful, easy to use bibs!
Since I had the rib knit neckbands going so well, I cut some scrap denim and made some raw edge (so they can fray over time!) bibs out of old blue jeans.
This terry bath mat is from a remnant from work and some fabric in my stash!
Now, these things are definitely "loving hands at home" but I think they will be quite useful!

Not pictured but fun to do, I managed to make several more paper foundation string-pieced diamonds for a scrappy star quilt!

I love those kind of bibs - and Donnie is needing some bigger ones than he has. I had forgotten about them - I must go get some towels and make him a bunch - I have all the ribbing from when I made some for Ben - thanks for the reminder.
Everything is very cute.
This is all wonderful, Lila. So glad you joined in.
Oh, your little owl bibs are so precious! What a busy week you had! :)
I love the union jack pillows, very nicely done!
You got a lot done! Hmm. . . great idea for the bath math. I should make a couple.
Hello Lila,
Love your cushion and other projects.
happy days.
