Pillowcases & New Mixer!

 I attempted [for the first time] working with corduroy and have to

say this will probably be the last time.  Now this fabric was on

sale for only $2.99 per yard so I don't feel bad it turned out just ok.  

I decided to put fleece on the back but it stretched out while I

was putting on the border so I cut it off and simply used my serger

to finish up the edges.  I will leave it as it is.

 I decided to pull my dog themed fabric out to make pillowcases

and then cut the rest into various sizes of blocks for future kids quilts.

 Derby ... looking not happy.

 Julep ... under the chair in my sewing room.

 These are the cases I've done so far.  I have three more

to finish in the dog-theme category.  I still need to call

John Hopkins Children's Hospital to see what they need.

My sister did tell me they get lots of stuff which I can

understand since it's a world renown hospital.

 Wilson's Xmas gift to me.

Wilson was listening to the KA mixer while I was making cookies

last week.   My Kitchen Aid has been in use for at least 17 years

and the motor sounds stressed.   I would always pray that I

would make it through finishing up what I had in the bowl.

Wilson ordered the pasta attachments as well as

the meat grinding attachments.  Something fun

to play with during the cold and snowy winter months.
