Summer Project 1

Isn't it beautiful? Oh, the organization makes my heart sing. Matching hangers, cubbies, a shoe organizer... what more can a girl want? I got right to this project the weekend after school ended and thought it would start off my summer with a sense of accomplishment. It did that, but the feeling has wained.

Only 5 more weeks to:
- refinish an antique sewing table
- build raised flower beds
- create a frame and fabric curtain for the back deck
- find someone to redo the front steps
- make a teaching website
- rearrange a classroom
- plan portfolio assignments for my students
- sew a quilt

I can do it, right?

Finished

I took a quilting class in March, and finished my little quilt....at the end of May. Let's just say hand quilting may not be my forte. But quilting is definitely a hobby I am trying to pursue. This quilt is a pattern called single Irish chain and I choose 1930's reproduction fabrics. I'm really proud of it.

Since finishing it, I've also made a small rag quilt, and 2 little patchwork doggies. I'll share pictures of those in the future.
