Somethings things conspire to seduce me into a project that was not in my plan. In this case, SIL #2 had me using her Accuquilt to cut the leftovers of the shirts<\/a> into pieces she could use later. She asked me and I was happy to do the cutting, especially since she was sewing buttons on one of the shirts.<\/p>\n
