Wow! A cold front came through and brought some mighty pleasant weather with it. I turned off the A/C, threw open the doors and windows and let this place air out. Midwest summers can mean endless days of heat, humidity and stale air conditioned air. What a change for a few days. Yay! Tonight I just might get to put a quilt on the bed.
I wanted you to see another of the quilts that I made during my Japanese phase. This one is called Shoji Screen. I saw the pattern in a magazine and fell in love with it. I gathered fabric from here to Washington State and had a great time doing it.
This is a wallhanging that I made after taking a class from Pat Sloan. She was just great. And funny, too.
I recently learned of a wonderful organization that provides homemade pillowcases to brighten the lives of sick children in hospitals. The name is ConKerr Cancer and their website is www.ConKerrCancer.org and they have chapters in the U.S. and worldwide. Today I made 18 pillowcases with more to come. I used my serger and it went really fast. Check out their site - you may just want to make a few, too.
