Just small things.

 This is a mug caddy. Really a mug liner and organizer. This is a great way to use all the miss matched and odd mugs you collect . I can not believe all I can get in one. I cleared off the table beside my chair off all my sewing stuff. and still have room for more.
 This was block was the project of the week for a on line group called Quick Quilt Saturday.
You had to make it into something . So I just quilted it and added a cup for my sister for Valentines day.
It made a great little mug rug.

 I had 4 fat quarters so I made some small box baskets and some pinnies. I will post a photo of the pinnies later when I get a photo taken of them.
PS Oh baby is it cold out side! Better to stay in and sew!

Jelly roll race.

The Orchard Quilters started out the New Year with a Jelly roll race at our first meeting of the New Year in Jan.
Then they brought them back with at least the tops done for all to see. Linda and Luanne completed quilts .
Good job to all !

And more Christmas quilts.

Christmas quilts

The girls all got Jellyroll quilts of some kind.

Christmas quilts for my family.

As you can see the boys big and little got some kind of Star Wars quilt.

My Bedroom & Christmas ornaments. Happy New Year!

 Here my bedroom . It's finished but for a little painting of some of the trim. it only took over 6 months to do .
I had a big hole in the floor that had to be fixed.
Thanks to my DD Jennie and her fortitude and persistence to get me help it's looking good. It's nice to be in my bedroom instead of the living room! What some paint, some trim and a new laminate floor can do for a room!
Now I am sorting thing and trying to get some organization back in the living room.
Which is also my sewing room/living room until Spring.
I made the family all a new ornament for Christmas this year. This one is my friend Janie's. I had a little Elvis fabric.
The boys was mad out of red and black Star War fabric and all the girls was pretty Christmas  and red fabrics.

Absent but still busy!

 Yes I have been gone from my blog. I took a job and it takes a lot of my time .
The upper photo is of a mug rug trade I was in this last month.
 This was a quilt for some friends new great grand son. They ask me to make for them. Each block is something in the family's life. Ruth picked out the images and I made them into quilt blocks. They picked the colors . They were very happy with it.
DD Jennie and I have been making pie carriers. this is just 2 of many.
 Jennie likes Halloween so she made table runners. This is one of them. I get to do the bindings on them.
 This is 2 more table runner Jennie made.
 This is my mini quilt for a trade I was in last month. I called it Morning Song.
And 1 more table runner Jennie made for the quilt shop. I think the Quilters Candy Shop  had kits for sale.

Working has cut into sewing time. I am sewing quilts for me kids and Grand kids. 10 in all so sooner or later you will see photos of them all.
