Thanks for the giveaway, Jody...you are always so sweet. I made pillow covers for my throw pillows that turned out good. I may make another one today! I like just making the covers...I have so many pillows! Happy weekend!

  5. Your quilt is beautiful and would look great on a wall. I love that cute mouse too.
    Congratulations on your 4 generations all going to see a movie together. I love that movie Ice Age and bought for the grandkids. Cute grandkid in the picture.

    It would be difficult for me to name my favorite thing I made because I put my heart and soul in every thing I make but quilts, rugs and cross stitch probably would be all my favorites.

    Have a lovely weekend. JB

  10. I love the soap dish--I like antique things like that. My sister has been finding quite a few as she cleans out the attic of our family's centennial house. I don't much care for the old furniture--I like the dishes and I love the primative things we have found in the barns. I can't think of just one favorite thing I have made--so many. Afghans for each child and grandchild. A really great cross stitched picture, done in shades of gray, that looked exactly like my then 4 year old grand daughter--it hangs in her bedroom and--all the poem blessing prayers I have written and then cross stitched for each grandchild's first birthday. They still have them and some of my grandchildren are in their late twenties. Guess those were my favorites because it took creativity of the mind and hands.
