Snuffle Mat

 

At the BAMQ December meeting/Sew Day, we had a swap which I hadn't managed to make anything for. It was fun to watch even though I wasn't participating. There ended up being one thing left by one of our new members, Eleanor. She was so sweet to gift me with it. It's called a Snuffle Mat. This is for a dog, you hide treats in the flappy pieces of fleece, flannel and other fabric. Then they snuffle around and "hunt" for the treats. Meg loved it. She was done so fast I didn't have time to take a picture!

I had to flip it over to see how it was put together. It's such a great re-use of jeans. The whole thing is easily washed as well. Here's a video on how to make a different type of snuffle mat.

Just Barely Festive

 

I made a little Thanksgiving bow for Meg to wear.  That's all the sewing I managed yesterday.

Just a random strip left over from the orange bullseye quilt, the corners rounded and zig-zagged around the edge.

Only just barely festive, as seen here with a smiling DS in the backyard at my parent's house. 

She was on leash because of the coyote pair that lives there. They just cruise back and forth right next to the patio in the unfenced yard, hunting for rabbits and apparently not bothering with the gophers.
