Sadly, its been a day or two since I last wrote a post. Or maybe a month or two. In my defense I have been sick for over a month. The Tuesday after Thanksgiving I came down with the stomach flu and missed a couple of days of work. Then later that week I had my first round of flu. And since then I have had a confirmed case of influenza type A. And just generally been sick. I think all together I missed five days of work. Luckily the holidays fell in that time too or it would have been a whole lot more than five days. I am still carrying my cough syrup and cough drops but didn't use them yesterday so may take them out of my purse. At least the cough syrup.
I haven't done a whole lot of sewing in the last month. The orange quilt top did get finished and I did give it as is to my son for Christmas with the promise that I would get it quilted pretty soon.
He was a good sport about it. He may not install my new garbage disposal until I get it done though. He may have to use that as a bargaining chip.
I had a busy day making Kindle covers.
This is the second one I made for Zach. They look exactly alike but when I got the first one done my Kindle wouldn't fit in it. So I knew his wouldn't. So I made one a little larger. If you biggie size the picture you can see the trombone button I sewed on the closure.
Here is the Kindle cover I made for mom. Hers doesn't fit either. I'm not even going to try making another one. I've wasted enough fabric on the two that didn't work. If I could remember the site where I got the pattern I would share the name just so no one else makes the same mistake of following these directions. Obviously my 3/8" seam isn't the same size as the person who shared the pattern.
I also made mom a walker bag. It was on her walker yesterday so I guess it worked out. Not great fabrics but what I had to work with in green that wasn't a poison green.

So this has been my last month in a nutshell. Sick, sick, sick. And nothing sewn right or finished. Here's hoping January will be more productive.

Your quilt for your son is super looking - strings?. I like your Kindle covers too. Sorry they did not fit the first time. I was going to make one for mine a long time ago, but still haven't gotten around to it. Sorry you were sick. Hope you have knocked that bug out of your system. January WILL be a better month. Hang in there.
