Sewing!

I borrowed my mom's old sewing machine after Thanksgiving so I could finish up some stockings I sent to some missionary friends.  So a few weeks ago I went to Sherry's and she helped me sew a blanket that my mom is going to quilt. I spent about 7 hours there and finally finished the top.  I loved it and got the sewing bug.  I have made missionary stockings, a quilt, in the process of making another one, and last night made a pillow case for Javier who is serving in Chile.  It's the Chile flag! I didn't use a pattern so it's not perfect, but I was impressed the star even resembled a star, so I'm okay with it. I am kinda obsessed with sewing and am looking forward to using my fabric stash for more fun projects!

The star up not too close..it has many flaws!
