Twenty bright pillowcases were made last week at quilt group. These pillow cases will be donated to the FCCLA's Angel Tree project. One of our members was the Consumer Science teacher (Home Ec to us oldies) for 35 years. She died from cancer last year. Her husband gifted her stash to our group to use in
community service projects. We used her stash and some of our own to make the pillow cases. The pattern we used was call the burrito method. It makes a very nice pillow case with finished seams. It is like
Robin Gallagher's method. They were alot of fun to make. We have also made two quilts that were given to families who had house fires. It was so nice to see everyone and catch up on each other's projects.
Down on the Farm is a flimsy! I need to piece the backing and start the sandwich process. This has been a fun project. The baby's due date is Halloween and he is still waiting. Although I think his mom is more than ready for him to be here.

You can see from my header and title that today is a nasty weather day in SD. The wind is blowing 40-60 miles per hour at times and the snow is flying. It is a reminder for us to get prepared for the season ahead. Thank goodness this is a little taste for a couple days and then back to more temperate stuff for a short time.
I have had the crud again. This time a chest cold with lots of coughing. I'm feeling better today and hope to get more done today.
Rocco hates the cold. It has put an end to his outdoor fun. He is cuddled up on my lap under the afghan. He has gained alittle weight and his winter clothes from last year don't fit him. So we'll need to do some winter sewing and shopping for him too.
Blogger has given me fits the whole time with this post. So I'm done.....................
