Sew ... What's New From The Sewing Machine

 I was asked by our Bozman Post Mistress if I would make some
American Doll clothing for the Bozman Church holiday bizarre. 
This is a fund raiser at the end of November so I have time
to make additional dresses.  I may make a quilt also since it's
for a local community church ... if I have time.

 Now this quilt has been mailed to a FB friend who lives in Texas
Her mother in is a facility for Alzheimer's patients so she
wanted a quilt that could be used to cover her mother while
in a wheel chair.  This is my first 'test' quilt since I didn't have
the specific size needed.  I did find general info on Pinterest
to help me out but I'm thinking this might be a little long.

Vacation Scrappy Squares
Deciding on how to lay them out.
A scrappy pairing.
 The dreaded seven 'Frozen' panels came in the
mail ... as mentioned in a previous post I would
have cancelled the order but I couldn't remember 
the company I ordered them from.
 If there is a good side ... these panels are half the size of
the other three quilts I made. 
 A family member had a nasty accident and hurt her arm badly.
I decided to make her a quilt hoping it will cheer her up during recovery.
I haven't seen her in years so I hope she likes this color combo
which is a grouping by Moda Fabrics.
I don't know what I was thinking when I made the length as
the original pattern suggested [which is longer than I normally like].
 I did come to my senses and cut two rows off vertically.
Tuesday's project is to get this quilted to mail on Wednesday.
