A friend of mine asked me to repair the quilt her grandmother made for her when she was little. Of course I jumped at the offer (I have NO idea how to quilt, but backing down from a challenge is just NOT in my character. . . ). I told her that it was totally hit or miss and that I could not promise perfection, but I could at least get all the stuffing back into the quilt.
Here's a picture of the whole quilt, before I started pinning the edges.
And here is an example of where the stuffing was trying to escape.
So, I just kind of jumped in with both feet and am completely done sewing up the edges and the parts that were torn. Now, I am just making the outlines on the bunnies look better. I cannot wait to take it back to her when we go to visit next weekend!!
After getting my hands on this one, however, I have decided that I need to learn to legitimately sew, and ASAP. I want to learn to quilt too. The only problem is that I don't have a sewing machine. . . and I haven't the slightest idea of how or where to begin searching for one.
I think it would be super cool to make my own dresses. And make a quilt for my bed, exactly how I want it. It will happen and soon. Any suggestions?

On another note, Boy bought a ukulele for me. I must admit that I was a bit apprehensive at first, but I think I'm really going to like it. I can (sort of) read tabs and I have already learned how to tune it and have played happy birthday and the intro to Imagine. Get jealous!
Does anyone else get a taste of something new and want more, or is it just me?
