Pinwheels for Playful Kitties

A few of the two-inch pinwheels for the Playful Kitties quilt.  I need at least twice this many.

Two More Strips for Playful Kitties Quilt

 Two more strips are done for the Playful Kitties quilt for granddaughter Elsie.  Tomorrow I'll do something with those little triangles I trimmed from the French Braid.

It was Elsie's seventh birthday today.  We gave her a fancy bookbag.

Fabric for Elsie's Quilt

Here is the fabric daughter-in-law Amy gave me -- more of the pretty things she has such a talent for finding at secondhand stores -- for making Elsie's quilt. Elsie will be 7 next week. She is Teddy and Amy's youngest of nine.

Label for Cross-Stitched Teddies

I got the machine-embroidered label for Malinda's quilt done. I'll sew it onto the quilt tomorrow or Thursday. Right now, I need to rush to bed and sleep fast, because I must get up a little before 4:00 a.m. in order to get to Lincoln in time for an early appointment with my eye doctor for Botox treatments for the Benign Essential Blepharospasm. Doesn't feel very 'benign'. Feels downright malicious! The treatment isn't a whole lot of fun; but I'm ever so thankful that it does help.
