Sew Not For Me!!!

Summer is gone and I have been a slacker at posting but that doesn't mean that I haven't been busy! I discovered something this summer... That sewing is not for me! I have sewn a couple things in my day but have never been very good at it. I finally finished my sons quilt and now my boys beds match and look really cute! I have been working on that project for a while but putting it off cuz I really dis-like sewing! I know that some people do it to relax or for the fun of it but I got a headache the whole time and realized that I clench my jaw and hold my breath while I do it!







My mother-in-law made these really cute pillows that match out of the scraps for each bed. Thanks Carol!





Then for some reason even after I had finished that project I wanted another fun quilt to throw around, take camping or to the park. So I started another quilt! This is more like my style, rag-tie. It doesn't have to be perfect or straight. I don't think I used one pin on this whole thing. For the regular quilter this is probably a mess but I love it and it is perfect for me!



And my boys love it too!


Although they both turned out very cute I packed my sewing machine away and I am gladly bowing out of the sewing world. Good Bye!
