My house is clean (shiny in some spots even). My roses have been clipped and my gardens are just about weeded.
I get to play with fabric again. And this time I'm making turtles. For charity.
Some day I may actually make something for myself, but not yet. My new charity project will benefit kids at a Hole in the Wall Camp.
Paul Newman started Hole in the Wall Camps for children with life-threatening conditions back in 1988. One of those camps in California, The Painted Turtle, sends each child home with a lap quilt and a turtle pillow. I've made enough quilts for a little bit, so I'm tackling turtles now.
The turtle pillows are quite large - about two and a half feet long. And I'm making bunches of them. I don't have to stuff them (the organization does that), but I get to use up some of my excess fabric to make them.
My first one was finished today, but I'm working on cutting enough fabric for at least 20 or so more.
It's kinda cute even without its stuffing. One down and many more to go.
