I've been doing a lot of clean-up/catch-up work this week.  I finally got the binding on the Anita's Arrows quilt, now known as "Dewey's Quilt."  It's on the white sofa ready for Dewey to nap on when the cold weather comes.  In the summertime, he sleeps outside, often on the patio chairs or table.  I've never had a cat before that could sleep soundly outside.  He's a pretty self-confident guy.

I've also put labels on a couple of quilts.  I've been typing them in Pages (the Apple version of Word) and printing them out on fabric pressed to freezer paper sheets.  Some people make really lovely labels, and I'm not too happy with the look of these.  They have a technology-produced look that runs counter to the look of the quilts.  I'll have to post a few of my efforts so that I can look at them and think about what to do.

I've also been working on some little bags.  My guild asks everyone to donate at least three handmade items to sell in the boutique at our show.  I found the pattern and tutorial for these by the Gourmet Quilter.  I just love her!  She lives on a houseboat that makes tantalizing creaking sounds during her YouTube videos.  She is unassuming and absolutely clear in her instructions.  Her taste in fabric is totally different from mine, and sometimes I scratch my head at her choices, but I love her ideas and techniques.  Here's a link to the bag tutorial:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcKMLG75cb0 .
