I need some control power. Happily we received a call this week from a relative with a newborn. I had made my famous burp pads for the baby shower. Our nephew asked if it would be possible to buy more pads as they worked so nicely. Now DH knows two families really like these pads!!!

Of course, I was tickled pink that I had something they could use and enjoy. I gladly gave them my entire understock!
Then today I realized that I don't have much flannel left for the other gifts I want to make ..... honest....

If I do go to Joann's next week and "check out" the flannel on sale, I must limit myself to yardage for the total number of pads I need to make. It takes 1 yard to make two pads. Two cuts of 24" x 20" and two cuts of 12" x 20" means you can mix and match the fabric designs.

Meanwhile, I am sewing with the precuts from my stash and preparing to selectively cut more stash. :-)
