Sewing for the Shelter

I have been helping these lovely folks:  http://www.connieandteri4animals.org/
and in January, we make little quilts for the kennels at the local shelter.   So last weekend I got a couple of HUGE bags of fabric and batting, and cut out a bunch of quilts.  This weekend I sewed them.  All told, I made 45 quilts.   And they were approved by my very own quilt-tester, the Princess Rita.



It's a great project, and I love helping the animals, because I can't bring any more home.  My allergies and budget just couldn't handle the stress.   So I'll make them little quilts to protect their paws until they find a forever home.  If you don't have a furry overlord ruling your household, now is the time to go find one!  It's never too late.

More bins!

I think I like this pattern.  They would be cute in some kind of holiday-themed fabric, wouldn't they?

Here's my first attempt.  I like the concept, but I want to get a better fleece next time.


The (in)famous Bacon Shirt

I kept promising that I'd make this shirt someday, and finally I did!  Bacon Shirt is in da house!!


More tiny purses

Shh!  I think they're conspiring...

I found a great deal on zippers, so I see a lot of teeny tiny presents in my future!
