I was wandering around NYC the other day, and I wandered into Anthropologie. Always so many cute things, and vintage rip offs. (cute just the same) I like to watch their sales, because often you can get linens, and napkins, for great prices... And then I take them home cut them up etc... you know. get crafty with them...
Well, these hand towels caught my eye. They're so soft! And after taking my Matisse quilt as a picnic blanket to the park, I realized I need a thin, easily rolled up blanket for such excursions...
So, I bought three packs, of three hand towels, and have sewn them together. And will throw a simple backing on it, that I can whip up quickly and take a long for those little trips when you need to just spread out and sit on the grass, curb, etc.
So much for not starting anymore quilts before summer... I may need to count up my UFO's. I was so good about getting the others finished, I must have about another 15...at least...

Hmm, I guess this is about done.
This is a piece Shelly sent me to quilt and finish for a little swap we did.
One last sneak peak, and it's off to the P.O.!
My nutty dogs... Kia, trying to sit on the 4" wide arm of the chair, and Jenny Egg messing with my pillows!
Those pillows made me think,
When you need a quick sewing fix, do you start a new project?
whip up a lap or wall quilt? embroider?
whats your quick go to project?
