Hello All, I am taking a break from quilting as I just finished a 3 1/2 inch squa res sewn in rows quilt top. Think I had thirty rows of these and these are really colorful quilts because of all the pretty fabrics left over from mak ing other quilts. Got rid of a lot of fabric this way. I took one of the print fabrics and cut out my binding. There is no inner or outer border. So far I have made a sweater by using a new sweatshirt, cutting it dow n the front and then sewing a contrasting trim on each side to cover the ra w edges. It looks nice I may make another one of these in a different color . I have been sewing seams that have come undone also patching work on c loths. Yesterday I cut out two night gowns in pretty cotton colors for next summer, one is short(below knees) and the other is long(almost to the ankl es}. I like cotton because it is cooler in the summer. Since it is cold and rainy here I made meat/veggie soup and also a gro und turkey and broccoli casserole with a cheese topping. I got the recipe f rom Taste of Home web site. Sandy$
