Just a little flower pin cushion!

I just finished making 21 of these little pin cushions. The glass candle holders where so sweet.

Fans at 3:00 AM

I have started sewing my fans on to the back ground sq's . I was so happy to find some fabric that has the gold sparkles on it like the back ground in the Christmas print of the fans. It's one of those nights . I can't sleep. I got up at 3:00 this morning.
Now back to my fan's.

One more fan quilt!! #9

Yes one more fan quilt. It will be my #9 in my list of UFO's.This was one of my first ones I started. I love this Christmas print.
The light tan or cream fabric has a little gold sparkle just like the back ground in the fans.
I am not sure how I will put this one together yet. I need to put the fans on squares and put the 1/4 circle on the bottom of the fans first. I have to decide if I want red or green 1/4 circles on the fans?

# 7 Faster than I thought!!

I was faster than I thought and got this one done this afternoon. The light this time of day isn't very good for photos . It looks yellower than it is. I did antique it with a green tea bag . Not as good as other teas but it what I had. It turned out 9" x 12 1/2" .
This is one more that I have had for over 10 years kicking around.

# 8 of my UFO's still to come #7

No you haven't missed one ! #7 is still in the works.
But # 8 is done and in the send to Jennie pile. This one will get a black binding. I don't have sufficient fabric left of the print or red to make a binding. I would tell my students you could use ugly fabric and it would make great repeats for fans. The print was in the quilt shop and wouldn't sell so I used it.
I am coming along with #7 it should be done in a day or so. Some times the little things take to longest to do.
The wind was blowing but I did get one fair photo out of three.
This quilt is 64" x 82". It has 4 x 5 rows. The blocks are 10" finished.

Here it is # 8 . Yes more fans. I made these as a demo while sitting in the quilt shop's booth at a show. Again about 11 years ago. I hope to finish #'s 7 & 8 by the end off this month.

Maybe #7

I know this doesn't look like much, but it's something I started and never finished over 10 years ago. It's only 9" x 12". I need to embroider the border with little holly leaves and scallop's. It's been tossed from pillar to post as the saying goes. DD Jennie sent it in the last box of UFO's.
I know she is trying to tell me something!!
It's also a TV project with my feet up in the recliner. I may have to work on # 8 at the same time .
Something I can sew on the sewing machine.
Now to go through my stuff and pick # 8 out.
