Pillowcase dresses

We had a sew-in day at Pink Chalk to help Emily make her goal of 100 little dresses for Africa.   Emily is a senior at North Kitsap High and chose this as her senior year service project.  I don't remember how we at Pink Chalk became involved but I'm glad we did.  It was such a fun project.

This is Emily and her Mom:

And this is a small sample of the dresses we made:

I had to leave early (had grand kids to go play with) but I guess about 35 dresses were made.   Way to go ladies!  

These dresses are super easy to make and you can find directions for them at the Little Dresses site (link is above).  And they also need Britches for Boys (shorts).   

Stack of Yumminess

I cut this lovely stack of color today at work -- the biggest order I’ve cut so far.   I love cutting solids…reminds me of crayons….and who doesn’t love crayons?   :)

White House Quilting Bee

Who knew?  LOL!

This makes me laugh!

New Block of the Month

Bunny Hill Designs has a new free block of the month program starting called "Henrietta Whiskers".   I love Bunny Hill's appliquéd quilts.  LOVE them.   This will be the third year I've printed off the block of the month patterns.  The first was called "A Tisket, A Tasket".  I decided to wait until the whole years worth of block directions were printed before starting it.   Bad move....cuz then I saw the first block of the next one ("Snowbound") and liked it better....again deciding to wait until I had all of them before starting.   This time I avoided going to Bunny Hill's web site so I wouldn't be tempted.  I had learned.   :)    I bought the background fabric for Snowbound and made other fabric decisions, like wool for the snowmen.

 And then today....blog surfing.....just wanted to take a peek....just a wee one.....big mistake.....Miss Henrietta is so cute.....so cute.   I guess what I really learned is that I have no resistance.
