                                         Here are my little puffer fish, aren't they cute????

                                                              Not to late to join!!

My little puffers have been sitting under, over, and through fabric for the last few days.  They are probably sea sick from traveling to one spot to another.  Didn't even give them a decent iron or brushoff to show them off......what is up with quilters these days?

I used Island Batik Fabric scraps

I have been busy cooking, cleaning (especially my sewing room), and goofing off but I did get these little puffers done....

                     Have a very very Merry Christmas!!!

IT IS SCRAPPY TIME!!!

I truly had a fun fun day in my sewing room.

This morning as I was visiting my mother (she is in assisted living) she did not seem very happy at all.  

When I came home I had some free time (a miracle), so I decided to make a door hanging for her.  Everyone at this Assisted Living home has something on their doors.  I have taken it upon my self to keep my mother's door decorated with wall hangings.

This is what I came up with today.  Oh what fun I had, I don't think I have had this much fun in a long time.

I knew I wanted to do a flamingo, my mother loves flamingos.  I knew I wanted to use my Island Batik Fabric scraps.  The only thing that is not from Island Batik is the binding.

I went to the computer and typed in cartoon flamingos.  I searched until I found the one I wanted.

Once I had it printed out, I cut it in fourths and cut all the excess paper off.  Then I resized it to fit the full page.  Then I cut that one in fourths....I did this three times until I got what I wanted.

I decided to add a little humor to the wall hanging.

Here is hoping that it puts a smile on her face and all the other residents there.
