My NEWFOs

Hot diggity dog --- if there is one thing I'm really good at, it's starting new projects! (Grin) And today I'm linking up with the Enabler-in-Chief, Barbara over at Catpatches, who is hosting the party:


 I'm calling her the Enabler-in-Chief because she is actually encouraging those of us with this issue, to start something new each month (and we don't even have to finish it!).  I love it!

 Here are my NEWFOs for this month:
Here is the e-reader cover that I completed (uh-oh, I think that is against the rules of the NEWFO challenge.....please don't tell!) for the Remember September effort for our service men and women.

And here is a little project for the crisis pregnancy center near me -- a small tumbler quilt to be used when the baby is tucked safely into a car seat, and needs to be kept snuggly and warm.


 I was gifted with the tumblers (thanks, sis!) some time ago, and I think the pinks and browns will be sweet. I'm going to bind it with the quirky edge, instead of chopping off fabric to make a rectangle --- just couldn't bear to do that!

 Be sure to stop by over at Catpatches and visit all of the other poor souls who can't resist starting new projects! (Wink) 

 Love,

    Very cute. I like your idea of leaving the edges of the tumbler quilt as is. Thanks for linking up today.

    Sweet tumbler! I'm sure our Enabler-in-Chief will excuse the "finish" since it's for such a great cause ;O)

    Love the term NEWFO. I'm a serial starter myself but trying to train myself out of the habit - this sounds like an excellent challenge though!

    Love the e-reader cover (as does your froggy). The pinks and browns look great for a baby quilt, very pretty.

    Love your projects. I'll more than likely star a new project in the next week or so, but am really feeling stressed over the ones that are unfinished... Gotta work through that! Ha!!

    I love the idea of an unusual border, and I love the pink and brown combination!

    I love your FOs. The e-reader of course touches my heart very deeply, and the tumbler quit is awesome too!
