O H, T O F I N I S H A N O L D P R O J E C T !
It's sooooo gratifying !
This month I've been catching up on unfinished projects . . .
and Sassy was the first thing I completed !
Yes !
I've been working on him, Sasquatch, on and off, for the last 18 months.
Oh the shame of it.
But . . . sweet Sassy !
He's done . . . and I am loving him !
Your curious, aren't ya ?
You want to know if I believe in Sasquatch, don't ya ? ! !
Should I tell you ?
Hmmmm.
No, I don't believe there are Sasquatch out in them there woods.
It's fun.
It's folklore-y.
It's kinda scarey.
It's mysterious.
And . . .that's all it is for me . . .
that's why I like the legend !
It's just fun!
By the way, I love those "messin' with Sasquatch" commercials,
and that Finding Big Foot show.

N E X T O N M Y L I S T T O F I N I S H . . .
was a sweet, little, chubby bunny !
I started this project last January !
Yes.
One year ago.
Sad but true.
She sat . . .
unstuffed . . .
no ears
no legs
and no arms . . .
for one year !
So rude . . . I'm so sorry sweet little chubby bunny !
Well, she is now complete . . . made from an old pair of corduroy pants.
She has been mailed out to my little 3 year old niece in Florida.
She now has a happy home !

this awesome sail boat, children's quilt !
This one takes the prize for how long ago I started it ! !
Let's see . . .
I started this when my son Easton was 5 years old . . .
he's now 10 years old !
Yes, he's still a children . . . a child . . .
but, this won't quite cover a 10 year old boy.
His feet will stick out the bottom.
His head will stick out the top . . .{ that's a good thing ! }
However, he is still excited to see me working on it.
He says he can't wait to sleep with it.
He can definitely cuddle with it.
Heck, I've even curled in a ball and covered with it whilst napping on the couch.
I pieced this quilt on the sewing machine . . .
and I am hand quilting.
I have machine quilted before, but I have found, that over time . . .
the stitches have pulled snapped and broke.
Very sad.
The quilts I have hand quilted, have withstood the test of time . . .
and even the washing machine !
However, I am not a professional machine quilter by any means . . .
so, I am not knocking machine quilting.
I'm just knocking MY machine quilting !
