It has been one of those weeks where doing anything that requires a lot of attention or a lot of time just isn't in the works for me. It has been a hard week to focus on anything. We returned home from the cottage on Tuesday thinking that we would return on Thursday. No need to bring my sewing machine and projects with me.......or so I thought. Once home, we've found that we needed to be here for longer than planned, so my projects are 150 miles down the road and I am here! I tried using another sewing machine to work on my Bee Trees blocks but it just doesn't measure that 1/4" the same. However, I needed to get some sewing in each day just so I could have my fabric fix. While reading one of the Stashbusters digests, I saw that a gal is collecting pillow cases for children with cancer. I figured that it didn't matter which machine I used for that so I pulled some fabrics and came up with a few to send to her. These fabrics called my name many months ago at Hobby Lobby. Now I know why! It's a gloomy, rainy day and almost a bit chilly at times. We had huge thunderboomers last night with lots of unneeded rain. If this keeps up, the mosquitoes will be of a size to BBQ! Tonight I'm going to sew the bindings on two queen size flannel quilts that I made last winter. It has been too hot for handling flannel and tonight is a good night to do them. Hope you all are staying high and dry!

Those are cute pillow cases and what a great way to get a fabric fix.
What happy pillow cases - isn't it fun when you purchase something not knowing why . . . then all of a sudden the purpose becomes so clear *s* Those kids will love 'em.
Those are sweet pillow cases. I think the weather has just been plain weird as of late. We had a tornado last Thursday causing lots of damage around the lakeshore. My brother was caught in a freak storm on lake Champlain Friday. Makes for a whole new sailing experience. It's cool here for August! Gosh, I feel I should be turning the heat on! lol Keep well!
Such cute pillow cases. They are so bright and cheery.
These cheery pillowcases will brighten someone's day! Well done, and for such a great cause, too.
What a wonderful thing to do with pillow cases!
