Not Much to Show

I have been being productive in a quilting way the past couple of weeks with not much to show for it.  I made a couple of pillowcases, one for a sick friend to let her know I"m thinking about her. This was a kit from an LQS, and I was mildly irritated because the cuff fabric was about 2 1/2 inches shorter than what I would have normally used, but it was a kit, so I'm out of luck.  I chose to leave off the band on this one.

I also made a pillowcase to wrap a graduation quilt.  This quilt was made for a family friend, who should have graduated in 2015.  In fact, I had the quilt made in time for her original graduation, with the date embroidered on the front.  Last week I had to pick out my hand embroidery and recross stitch 2018 on the quilt.  This wasn't easy since the quilt had been longarmed already.  I hope the stitches stay in!  Here's the quilt (I forgot to photograph the pillowcase):

It has been a long road for her, and we are thrilled that this girl graduated!  We are so proud that she has a full time job, and it supporting herself now!  After opening the quilt she said she now had everything she wanted except for a Tamagotchi.  Do you remember those?  They were little electronic 'pets' kids played with about 15 years ago.  I don't know why she wants one, but this week I found a pink Tamagotchi in one of our toy bins.  It need a new battery, and I don't know if it will work, but it is hers if she wants it!

I also got one graduation quilt bound and a lot of scraps cut into usable sizes.   This week I want to bind a quilt and get labels on another four.
