April Finishes

In addition to all the things I posted here,  I also made the 4th nesting box for my grand daughter Ellie.  Her's were the first set I ever made using the excellent tutorial from Sew, Mama, Sew! but they seemed so complicated and time consuming that I only made her three instead of four.   After I made the 2nd, 3rd and 4th set for other babies I really got the hang of it so how could I not make my granddaughter her 4th and largest box.





 I also started on the Elementary School T-shirt quilt. I cut all the t-shirts and fused most of them.  Here is the WIP:


This isn't the final configuration, just a preliminary layout to see what I have and what I still need.  I need more dark green t-shirts.  It's all about symmetry for me.

I also made this hanky pillow:



One last little thing I made for my etsy shop was this pretty tea wallet:


Making it made me happy.  It made me want to make more so on my May To-Do list I want to make 5 - 10 pretty tea wallets.

  2. The boxes are adorable! And you tea wallet is a great idea. I don't personally drink tea like that, but I've seen people pull tea bags out of their purses and make tea.

    1. I would throw tea bags into my school bag and they would be shredded by tea time. That's why I started making them.
