a sense of normal...

I just needed "a sense of normal", so I went to my sewing machine where I have a few of the fabrics placed tossed that I purchased at Quilt Odyssey early in August! I know you are not surprised to see that my choices are made up of CWs & Repros, my favorites. I have been *very much* missing the chance to do something/anything with fabrics and my sewing machine. Now that *hubby* is home from his hospital stay and actually showing improvement, I feel that it is getting closer to my being able to *cut and sew* something/anything SOON!

Mickey and I brought home two of the already made up *Hugs and Kisses* kits (shown below), well actually one top is already together it needs the finishing touches, and we volunteered to bring it home to finish including the quilting, the second one is a kit that is prepared in advance for the volunteers to sew at the show! One of my earlier blog posts (Aug. 3rd) shows Mickey at the show sewing away on a quilt for *Hugs and Kisses*!! We will finish up the two shown below and mail them back to Missy Molino for the quilt donation program that benefits the Hershey Med. Center!

Do you want to see some really cute/sweet pillowcases? Please head on over to see what Mickey put together on one of her days of helping to take care of her Grandpa in his recovery at home! He napped and she was busy at the sewing machine...please look! She would ♥love♥ a comment if you feel inclined to leave one on her blog ☺!!

Have a wonderful day...the season of Fall is getting closer, schools will begin and the leaves are already drifting to the ground!

Glad to hear that you're ready to get "back to normal" again with your sewing and that you hubby is improving. Take some time to relax. You deserve it.

Barb, the fabrics are very nice. I love to hear about sewing with Mickey, too. She is a gem; what a great girl to help out with Len right now.
