A fresh pile of tissue holders. I love to have these on hand for little gifts and goodies.
I'm going a little doll quilt crazy. Though mostly cause I'm trying to use what I have and not necessarily that I am jumping on the doll quilt bandwagon:) In 1999 I participated in a Y2K swap where you sent 25 - 2.5 x 2.5 inch squares to enough partners until you had 2000 different squares. These squares have been sitting in a beautiful Longaberger basket ever since:) I had grand plans for a huge quilt that showcased them all but I know that will never happen so I've decided to make a bunch (and I mean a whole bunch) of little quilts with them. These ones will all be presents for various loved ones.
I am SO pleased with how this little friendship one turned out - I had been told by several people that you can't print fabric on a laser printer. After a little more research it turns out that you CAN print fabric on a laser - it just is not washable. Well, this is going to be a wall hanging so it doesn't need to be washable. I love the look of the "honor" that I embroidered above, but I love the laser printed "friendship" too - there are so many possiblities for both! I have 4 more tops pieced and ready to be finished.

The quilts are so beautiful. You were so productive this weekend, I am thoroughly jealous!
By the way, I love your backyard!
oh my heck! You have been busy! I am keeping my house clean, but not at all busy...I'm too tired LOL
We had a bit of slip n slide action here today, too! Loved all the updates, and hope my yard sale box arrived!!!
Also, I'm the 3rd to post with 2 names.
Wow, you have been busy! The tissue holders look great. Mine always come out too big. Did you use a pattern or tutorial? Or did you make your own pattern?
I'm doing the 50 Things too. We had a yard sale a couple weeks ago and I still have the boxes of stuff to be donated, so I have plenty to get rid of!
You got a ton done, that's for sure!! I love all your little quilts, especially the "honor" one.
you inspire me to get off my tuckus and actually do something constructive!! way to go with all the quilt love. I love those buxom ladies fabric! too funny!
My goodness, now don't I feel like a lazy slob ;)! You sure did get a lot done this weekend, good for you! Love the doll quilts, I bought one myself this weekend at a yard sale. I should use it as a wall hanging as you suggest since my lil men will not be using it for their GI Joes anytime soon :p

Seeing some of your tissue holders in polka dots... I HAVE to tell you:
About 3 or 4 years ago my guild had it's annual summer picnic that was polka dot themed. My friend Karen and I sprang into action and made the tissue holders as gifts for everyone, and we used all polka dot fabric. And what did we call them... POLKA SNOTS! :o)
