All the Whos down in Who-ville.....
New fabric! How the Grinch Stole Christmas fabric just arrived.
I don't know what I will make with it yet, but just having it to touch and smell makes me happy.

Recently in the Chester area, 32 children lost their homes due to a fire.
That set the wheels in motion for a sew day like no other.
Lucy thought it would be nice for each child to receive a new pillow and pillowcase.
We checked our fabric stash and picked out some bright kid prints.
Each pillowcase consists of a 2, 11 and 27 inch piece of fabric. That will make a cuff, trim and body of the pillowcase.
We start by stacking and pinning the fabric into a roll. Sew across the top, "birth" the fabric out of the end of the roll and you have a nice cuff, trim and body piece with no visible seam.
5 sewing maniacs and 6 hours later you have 36 pillowcases ready for delivery.
We will save the 4 extra for the Waldorf sale later in the year.
What fun!

The sewing group is always looking for something new to sew.
Today our project was a pie/casserole carrier. Zelda made bunches of them and came up with some pattern short cuts. That allowed us to sew these holders up in no time.

What a mess we made of the kitchen.
Guess who cleaned up?????

Doodlebug loves to camp out under the kitchen table with her toys
Easter is here and so is the family, with the exception of Richard. He had to stay home with the herd.
Time to dye the eggs
