It's Good to Be Home

 I got so much accomplished this weekend.  

I had lots of help from Cubs.  He plays it tough but I think he missed me.

I went to a quilt show about 9 months ago and saw fabric that was perfect for someone I work with.   He was an Army Ranger and I found fabric that says US Army and has all kinds of planes, helicopters, tanks and Jeeps.  I just had to get it and I have had it now for months and plan to make him a quilt for his birthday.  His birthday is next month!!!  Of course I don't have a pattern.  I not only laid out the top but I also got the top all pieced together.

My daughter is away at college so I use her king size bed to lay all the pieces out to make sure they look good.  I think this is the hardest part.  Trying to make all the fabrics work well together.  Black, brown, tan and green.

This is the top!!!  

Now I need to put the back together and quilt and bind it.  

Maybe next weekend??

I also did a few craft projects.  I made Melanoma Awareness Ribbons for all of us to wear at work on Monday and since we will all be wearing orange for sink cancer awareness I made us pens with big orange daises on top to keep us smiling.

These are the backside of the ribbons

These are pens.  This is so cute. 

 Did I mention that I had lots of help.
