Trust me, if it weren&#8217;t for the smell of burning chemicals when I press, I&#8217;d be right there with you. Still, I found a couple of pillowcase bodies that I had cut who knows when.

I don&#8217;t know if it will work, but I am going to try to work through some small projects and patterns for bags, etc. Of course, there are quilts on the <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2013\/04\/26-projects-april-update-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">26 Projects<\/a> list that I want\/need to finish, so I will work on those. Also, I have bought a number of pieces of fabric for specific small craft items such as pillowcases. I want to get those sewn and out the door. I also have patterns and some fabric for other projects such as bags. I want to make another <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/tag\/petrillo-bag\/\" target=\"_blank\">Petrillo bag<\/a>. I need more journal covers. I am thinking that I am going to take some time and work on these types of projects.
