Finally, I quilted something! :)

It sure has been a while since I posted on my blog.  I haven't had much time lately, not to mention not much energy to do more than sit on my couch and watch TV shows that I recorded on the DVR.  But today I had promised myself that I would finally make a water bottle huggie.  I like taking ice water bottles to bed for when I get thirsty at night but can't keep them in the bed because it gets the sheets wet.  However, the cozie, or huggie as it were, keeps the ice cold longer and soaks up the condensation.  I also wanted to make an eyeglass case for my daughter's glasses that she rarely wears now since she has contacts.  So I pulled out some fabric and went to work.

Gorgeous fabric isn't it? :)  I didn't take step-by-step photos because this was a trial for me.  The end result:

I love them!  A few places I could have done a bit better such as the circle at the bottom of the huggie was a tad bit bigger than 4" but since I didn't have a protractor I went through the house and measured different circular items until I found my round coasters that were about 4".  The next purchase is a protractor for those round quilting pieces. lol  So enough for tonight now that it's 11 PM.  Tomorrow I WILL begin working on my table runner, no ifs and's or butts.  ^_^
