It has been busy around here with a recent trip to Sacramento (this past weekend) and preparations for our trip to Toronto. We are leaving tomorrow and the big present for my niece was finished today! I made her a comforter cover (twin size) and two pillow cases for her new, big-girl bed. This is the fabric I used - flannel in white/cream, and green, with little splash of reds.

It was fun coming up with the design and cutting up fabrics, but sewing it all together - not so much. I did not realize that the comforter cover will be THAT big. It just gew and grew, with each piece added. When all the piece were sewn together, I had to cut it to the right diemnsions (66X86in) and that was close to impossible - I just don't have any area that big! And sewing 66 in long strips - not fun either. So, I donlt think I will be making one of these any time soon. But, I am pleased how they turned out:

Off to Toronto...
