Today was a very full day. I went to BMS for Thanksgiving celebration. It was so nice to have someone else cook for me. The food was great and I got to visit with alot of people.
I got home about 1 o'clock. I called and talked to my mom for a while. They were done visiting with my sister in ND and were headed towards Sioux Falls for a meeting. They will be home tomorrow.
I had this idea of making pocket tissue holders. I first went into my studio and looked at all the fun novelty prints and a green print with bunches of different colored ladybugs on it and right next to that bolt was a bolt of bright orange fabric. Perfect!
I cut two 7" strips from both prints. Then cut those strips into 6.5" squares. So, I ended up with 12 blocks measuring 6.5" x 7" from each fabric.
The rest was assembly line work. Place one block from each print right sides together and sew along all sides of blocks with a 1/4" seam leave a two inch gap on the long side. Repeat for all blocks.
Turn blocks right sides out and then iron the blocks. Fold the block along the long side with the liner print facing out until both ends meet. Stitch a 1/8" seam on both ends. Turn the holder right side out on all blocks.
Tomorrow will be quite busy. My worker from BMS will be bringing my meds to me around 9:30 then I have my aide coming at 10:00, at noon I am going to get my hair done then off the Walmart to buy the pocket tissues to put in the holders.
The evening is getting long and I am getting tired so I will end this.
Take care.
