I’ve come to the conclusion that my life is either too busy or too boring to keep up with a blog! I never know what to write. When I do get on the computer, I feel guilty about being on it and not getting my customers quilts finished. I have one on the machine now that I need to get done. They come in faster than they go out. I’m not complaining!! I just feel like I need more hours in everyday!!

As far as getting my own stuff done. I never have time for that!!! But, I’ve decided that this year will be different!! So far, I’ve finished the MoKan challenge quilt and I’m sewing the binding on another of my UFO’s. I finally sewed the borders on the quilt and quilted it last week. I’m determined to get some of my unquilted tops finished!! I have 40 of them! I also want to use up my stash fabric. Here’s the quilt I’m putting the binding on.

I bought the newspaper quilt fabric several years ago and started making the quilt. I had the first border sewn on and then quit for some reason……anyway, I finally put the rest of the borders on and used the leftover fabric for the back. I didn’t quite have enough fabric left to do the whole back , so I added some black on the sides to make it big enough. I did use up all the newspaper fabric!!! One

piece of stash fabric gone, a whole lot more to go!!!!

I guess that’s it for now.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything. I quilted my mystery quilt, got the binding on it and put a label on too. It’s completely finished and we’re using it on our bed. I decided to put a panto on it just to get it finished and to practice doing a panto. The quilt is queen size and I felt like I was never going to get it quilted. Anyway, here it is.  I think I was supposed to have  the 4  star points in each block be the same color. Oh well….  After all these years of having it sitting in the box, it feels good to have it done.

My DD was home for 10 days over Christmas. She made her first quilt!! She has some physical disabilities so for her to sew a straight line was quite an accomplishment. I did all the cutting and pinning and she sat at the sewing machine and sewed. She’s already talking about making her next quilt! Here she is with her quilt. It has cats quilted on it so we call it Here kitty kitty.

I guess that’s it for now.
