A New Kitchen table topper

Remember these? Well I started cutting them up for a table topper; from each 10+inch block I cut 3 - 5" squares and 4 - 2 1/2" squares. And then I decided I needed 1 more square of each color family to have enough to do a 10 square by 10 square table topper. The 2 1/2" squares will be utilized in a border around later.

This is the layout so far...

One day maybe I will have a flannel covered design wall so that I can plan out a full sized quilt. 4 more rows will be added once these are all sewn together. I was going to sew today but have been in a weird sort of mood and just let the day slip by only doing a couple loads of laundry the dishes and cooking dinner. I feel kinda guilty for not getting more done. Perhaps tomorrow I will be more productive. Some days I'm just a "veggie".

Goodies in the Mailbox!

I knew something good had arrived when I saw the mailman get out of his mail truck to get something to go into my mailbox - a bright yellow squishy envelope - THE BEST KIND! And it was FULL of TREASURE!!!!!

Diane has really outdone herself! I sent her a hunk of UGLY fabric and she worked her magic and made me an awesome bag with wonderful pockets on the interior and the strap is adjustable as well. The fabric that I sent makes up the handle and the front flap on the bag - see what I mean about UGLY - but it's sure not ugly when you look at the whole project.

AND THERE IS MORE......

Diane also got me in the Fall Table Topper swap and she out did herself here as well. Just look at this beautiful table topper!...
