Littlle Dresses for Africa

I found the neatest site for making dresses to send to Africa for the little girls who have very little of anything. The address is www.littledressesforafrica.org/blog/. There are very good instructions for making the dresses from lengths of fabric or pillowcases. Since I have a boat load of fabric, I'm using it. I made the one above using 1/4" elastic at the neckline and double fold bias tape at the arm holes and for the ties also. It goes together quickly and would be a great project for a group or guild. Why not give it a try.

Better late than never

Woo hoo!! I finally got all of the Patchabilities wall hangings done!! It has taken longer than I thought it would but persistence pays off. I can't believe they are complete (except for labels). We are going to be going back to Illinois in a couple of weeks so I needed to have these for my Frayed Edges challenge. I really haven't accomplished as much as I thought I would; let me see - these small wallhangings, a dozen cancer caps, 11 receiving blankets for Project Linus, 24 blocks for a quilt for my son, crocheted a couple of scarves (now that the weather is getting warm), 24 neck coolers for the troops that have to be finished at home and intend to make some pillowcases for ConKerr Cancer. If you don't know about this organization please go to: www.ConKerrCancer.org and see what they are all about.
