Charity Sewing Night

Tonight Jen and I started a new thing and we're calling it Charity Sewing Night. We've decided that from now on we would sew for either Project Linus or Pillowcases for the Troops on Monday nights. Jen finished one flannel raggy quilt and I finished mine from yesterday and started another one. She also worked on pillowcases for her half hour that she's setting aside each time just for pillowcases.
I've really enjoyed making the flannel raggy quilt. Now I have to start doing all the snipping and then it's on to washing and drying it to make it fluff up.
I've very behind in my blogging of the past weekend and all I accomplished but I'm really tired so I think it's time for bed instead.

Hey, you realize we don't have to wash and dry them right? Esp. since we have apartment washers. I think someone takes them all at once to a laundromat. THe only one I ever washed was that first one I made cause I wanted to see what it looked like.

Hey, don't you and Jen forget to use good snipping scissors. Joann's have them with pink handles, and I think Fons and Porter has a short scissors just for snipping through many layers. If you use regular scissors, you could really stir up your carpal tunnel and wear yourself out too! Good scissors make the job a snap!

I agree about using the right scissors, but I am sure that you and Jen have all of the right tools! I am working on a rag quilt done in hexagons, but I haven't worked on it in forever! And I think that your Charity Monday's sounds great!
