Last Post of the Year


Knit pillow for DS is done. I made each of my kids one when they were younger. Surprise, Surprise he remembered his, had lost it during his divorce and wanted it replaced. That is a drill sergeant for you. LOL His original one was oval, but I couldn't find any pillow forms that shape and I am terrible at making them.....so he gets one a different shape. Like the original, it is yellow on top and black on the back. Hope he likes it.

Now onto next years projects.

End of 2010

Looking back over the year, it has been a basically good one with a few losses. A couple furkids were lost by other family members, and a couple friends were lost also.
As for my list of projects, I completed 6 of them with 3 others going into the new year. Plans for next year in addition to the 3 projects not done, are to do 2 Quilts of Valor, and 3 children's quilt's for Linus group or family. To be decided later.
Lots of baking to do this week and visits with the family Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. A lot of work, but lots of fun as a result.
Merry Christmas to all.

December update


Like most of you, can't believe Christmas is almost here. I am never ready, but then I work best when under a deadline. Next week will be a busy one.

Working on the backing to the hex quilt. Hope to have it done early next month so I can get the project to the quilter. Still thinking about how I want to bind it.

New EPP project is coming along nicely. I now have 1/8 of it done. I am doing it in 4 sections so it won't be too big to work on comfortably until I put the sections together. I am really liking how it is coming together. The background and center of each block will be the same throughout, but the pinwheels will be scrappy.

Merry Christmas to all. Have a joyous and safe holiday and a wonderful New Year.
