Well, as I continue working through my List for May, I am reminded that I don't really do well with Lists. I find myself doing every other craft imaginable, except what I wrote down to do! However, I am still working on it. One of my favorite items to accomplish is for a charity called Little Dresses for Africa. I found this charity last year when I was looking for a tutorial on Pillowcase dresses. Nancy, from the website Nancy's Notions gives a wonderful video tutorial on how to make a pillowcase dress with yardage. She includes a PDF pattern too. I loved making the dresses and I can only hope that it inspires you to try one too. Whether your dress is for your own little princess or for one thousands of miles away, it's a wonderful and quick project for summertime!! Happy Sewing. Little Mama Hen.WIP
On another item, I'm still working on it! This is a quilt that I'm making for Ladybug's Kindergarten teacher. Her teacher has really inspired a spirit of learning, fairness, and good citizenship with my little Ladybug. She loves her teacher so much and I really want to do something special for her. Hopefully, I will complete it before the end of the school year, just a few weeks away!!!! I love the brown and aqua, such a pretty contrast. Now, go find something fun to do! I think I'll go check on my two sleeping cutie pies; that's always a highlight for me. :) Little Mama Hen.

I love the striped sashing fabric in your pinwheel quilt, what a great idea! I guess I can really be stuck in my box sometimes, I usually think of solids for sashing. I love the effect of your stripes :)
