Finish X3

My two door banners are finished.  

I thought to make quilted curtains in the windows when I was quilting the  2nd one--bummer 'cuz I think it's soo cute--just like I made curtains in my house windows when I was a little kid!

And a Penn State quilt for my nephew as well.  

(E's and 3's in navy blue thread)

*********

I put the blocks from the Mod Squad group up on the wall.  I don't think I'll get any more blocks from members, so I thought I'd start playing with the layout.  

I've started cutting 2.5 inch strips for sashing and will either make one more little block for the center row or spread them out.

It  will make a happy donation quilt for the guild from our Modern group!

  

a new door banner

Yesterday, I should have started the quilting on Libby's 'Many Thanks' quilt.

It's all loaded and ready to go.

But I spied my stack of pulled fabrics for a new door banner and I was distracted!

It was good to spend some quality time cutting and piecing.

18 x 46

All fabrics fro the stash, you may not be able to see but the white 'welcome' fabric has ants on it -- too cute!

:)

Today is shop hop! 

Libby and I leave at 8:30 and we'll try to get as many of the 10 shops done today as possible.  I will try to be good and take pictures.  

We both are SO READY for a day out and dedicated to quilting fun.

The shops we don't get to today will, we'll finish on Saturday.

fun times, fun times!

First finish of' the new year

My first finish is my Strings & Stars quilt.  I finished the binding and washed & dried it on the 6th, took the picture outside!  

 

The temperature was in the 50's yesterday and suppose to be in the 40's all week.  I overheard a lady after church saying 'every week with out snow is one week closer to spring.' 

Strings & Stars is one of the 3 unfinished projects from one of my 2010 lists.  

The others are: 

 my 2nd "The Witch is In" door banner. 

I finished the blanket stitching on that yesterday

and  small treasures 

which is about 1/2 done. 

 I cut it out with the intention of it being a leader/ender project.  But I was so busy quilting in Nov/Dec. that sewing didn't really happen enough to get this one done.  

I know I could just keep on L/E it, but I want it done...must finish all on the list...must finish...which really isn't relevant since I've moved them to the 2012 list.

I have my 'Official 2012 Goals" done and will post it separately.  

I've made a tad bit more progress on the Santa rug.

 But forgot to take a picture. 

I do hope to get at least one row of the OBW sewn together so I can have a new picture for tomorrow's DWMonday.
