Day 928
At least I have some company while I'm working in the sewing room. Although she might not be the best of helpers. You'd think she'd at least pick up the stray threads off the floor but she seems to like hang out with them instead.

Day 927
How committed am I to passing the self-imposed 400 stockings for soldiers goal? By the looks of just the past 24 hours - cut stockings, fabric strips, and scraps - it might become more of an obsession.

Day 926
I don't even have the kids' quilts in the mail yet and I'm already starting on the next project.
Last year I used up every piece of Christmas fabric I had and sent in over 200 Christmas stockings to the Stockings for Soldiers organization. (That's the group that sends stockings and goodies to soldiers in the remotest regions of Afghanistan.) This year I'm planning on surpassing it on nothing but donated fabrics. Hubby started collecting from the staff at his school (that's today's picture). Next week I'll be getting donated fabric from the staff at my school. My deadline is mid-October so I have to get moving on this.
Anyone out there want to join in and be part of an especially special project? As long as I have fabric, I'll keep a-sewing! Can you imagine if we had 400 Christmas stockings headed to the Stockings for Soldiers organization this year, all thanks to everyone's generosity? I would love to have you be part of this.
Who's in?

Day 924
If anyone can shove a bunch of things into a short amount of time it seems to be me. I think it comes from still not having the stamina to make it a full day. I'm getting pretty good at sucking the marrow for only a few hours at a time.
The rest of the quilts done, school work. Lunch with daughter and her fiancé.
Shared cheese and bacon covered waffle fries. Not as good as they sounded. They wound up taking them home.
Shared desserts of chocolate chip skillet and brownie skillet. Even better than they look.
Kiddo and her guy taking me to Whole Foods for my first visit ever. Just as cool as I've heard.
A trip with them to the rose garden in Boise. Just as pretty as ever.
And the sign about the sprinklers? Ask me how I know that one is true. Actually the sprinkler surprise was quite refreshing on this hot day.
