I took part in the Pillowcase Drive for Sandy Hook Elementary students. A fellow Austin Modern Quilt Guild member and I combined our pillowcases and sent them today. Thanks Amanda. I was going to make two but I goofed up my first pillowcase so I went with one instead. I heard they have collected over 5000 pillowcases. The quilting community really responds to drives in a big way. This is the way we know how to make things better. I know some of my fellow bloggers sent off snowflakes. Hopefully these gestures will make a difference in the lives of that traumatized community.
Because of this project and all of my other Christmas projects I have an overflowing scrap bin. Guess I need to do some sorting this weekend.
I have discovered Quilters Dream Select cotton batting. Love it. Used if for the first time over the weekend. No skipped stitches. The needle just glided through it. I shopped online today for bargains. This stuff is not cheap. Found a 30% deal at Fabric.com. Got a Super Queen and a Throw size with free shipping for around $32.00. I am excited to use it again.
