What'cha makin'?

I know there are some creative ladies on this site, and I want to know what kind of fun projects you are working on! Are you quilting, knitting, painting? I am in the process of making some aprons for swaps that I am doing, and am trying to choose fabrics for a bath mat I want to make (fabric on one side, towel on the other). I will post some pictures as I go...anyone else??

When my husband went to California last year, I asked him to bring home two duvet covers for my boys' beds (including shams)...$12/ea!!!! You can't touch those prices.; ▶ Reply to This

One side has monkey fabric and the other side has a pattern with orange and green and yellow (Alexandra says the dolls need to be able to turn their quilts from one side to the other depending upon their moods - who knew?). Next will be sheets for the beds, new covers for the cushions on my dining room chairs, and pillows for some couches.; ▶ Reply to This
