Feelin' good!

I've finished the button ornaments for Jon! I'm really pleased with the way they turned out. No, I didn't write out any patterns. I probably won't have time to write patterns until after Christmas.

Here are all seven ornaments together. I want to get them to Jon this week so that he can enjoy them on the tree.

On to my next project!

Sentimental journey

When Jon asked if I could make t-shirt quilts for his sons Alex and Nick, I was ready for the challenge!

Jon told me there was no rush, but I found that this was a project I couldn't stop working on. Little did I know that I'd be able to finish both blankets in a week!

I had to cut some buttons off of some of the shirts in order to be able to sew the blocks together. Jon is a very sentimental guy, so I decided to tat some Christmas ornaments for him using the buttons. I'm not using patterns, just seeing what I can do on the fly. I'm pretty impressed with the way they're turning out!
