Delivering quilts

What a joy to see the kids and their quilts.  Lots of time and work on these that was a great pleasure.  To give to my grandkids is the gift for me.

Time to catch up with posting

Time really does fly, that is a fact. Things have been going on, not necessarily in the quilting realm.  I’m not sure when I got the Puss in the Corner quilt completed. With the blue binding you can’t tell hardly that it is finished. I so like the bright blocks, really perks it up. A swap in Happy Scrappers.

A New Year

It's been a long time since I blogged.  Between John's broken ankle and my not feeling well, not a lot of sewing done.  But now John is on his feet and helping around the house and also with our "high maintenance" dog, I've had more time to really sew.

I worked a lot last year on straightening fabric so I knew what I had, which only makes a bigger mess at first.  While doing that, I cut out few projects, worked on obligations and dreamt up more quilts to make.

I've started a few and am working on some I had in progress.  I've stopped with several that need borders and several that need backs and several that need binding.  I should make a list and I will.  I ordered some new project boxes and plan on setting them up with materials there to work on them.

One issue I have is that I'm addicted to like containers and things sitting around.  It's making chaos in the room.  There isn't really anyplace to sit this stuff.  Plus, I like to collect thimbles and pin cushions.  Too much stuff!

There are some quilts that are finished that I don't think got posted.

These are finished if the pictures don't show they are.  Will try to get a better picture.
