I'm making coaster sets with fabric boxes for gifts this year, I had intended to have these done over the last Virtual Quilting Weekend but after finishing the 5 aprons I was working on, I had a request for 4 more. I'm totally aproned-out now. lol I did two tester coasters and cut everything for the others, the fabric in front will be for the boxes to put them in. Since they're heading up to the frosty north I figure they'll remind folks that Spring indeed will be coming.

I am making a set of 25" Raggedy Ann and Andy for my one month old DGD. Her mom always loved them so she is getting them a little late : ) Also plan on making two name banners, approx. 5' x 18" for the two grandsons: 3 yrs. in Nov. and 3 yrs. in Feb. They will have a train theme with engine, three flat cars and a caboose. Each flat car will hold a letter of their name (ELI & ZAN) I made one for my DGD when she knew her letters but not how to spell her name. It is here:

Sew much to do................sew little time!
