I'm just an ordinary computer geek who sews in her spare time. My mother started teaching me when I was 4 years old. That's a lot of years of sewing! Everyone keeps asking me "Where can I see pictures of what you have sewn?" and thus this blog was born.

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?
