Finish out the year with the old!

 Done with the top. I have the back made and it will go in the pill at my DD Jennie's to be quilted.
For some reason the flash on the camera reflected the black fabric funny? Some of it looks gray in the photo.

It's all most a new year . I am not sure what I am doing next? I have several to pick from. What ever it is it will be a step in the right direction. They aren't works of art but they will be done and used and I hope love by some one.
For now Have a very Happy New Year!!!  Keep sewing and quilting.   Flicsha

Another old UFO project not finished.

This is another UFO project from around 20 years or more ago.
The Orchard Quilters started are group with this project . We all had a month and a block. For some reason I only have 8 blocks completed. I am now doing a 9th one so I can put this quilt together. I think it's time to finish it!!  I think I am setting it with the rose and blue print in the center front block. I only have 10 yards or so of it. I must have liked it at the time or it was a very good sale!  I am doing a simple friendship star to get it finished. I will set it on point. So wish me luck maybe by Friday?
In the mean time keep quilting!   Flicsha

Friday's finish it up. Finished.

 It's Sunday night and I finished the quilt top. I got out and started Friday. It is 70" x 74" not quit sq.
The colors are much better than they look here. Now to have it quilted by my DD Jennie.
I will bind it in the purple. One less thing in the UFO stack.

Finish it up Friday or start it Friday?

the blocks are 6" sq.

 I have had this row by row that was done by 4 other quilters and myself  the summer before 2000.

 I have shuffled it back over the years because of thing or another.

 I got it out today. lay it out on the cutting table. It sits there and I move one row or another from time to time.

I think about how I should join the rows. I am thinking may by up and down ? then maybe across side to side???
Maybe by next Friday I can have the top finished?
I am waiting for divine inspiration! I hope it hits soon. It's time to get this quilt finished!
Time for bed. A new day may help.
KEEP Sewing and quilting!     Flicsha

Christmas Eve

 DGD Sara and DIL Jammie. Sara with new shorts on her head.
I had my kids and there family's for Christmas Eve. Soup supper. Chili, & Oyster stew. Lots of crackers, cookies,  spreads, and dips. Sweet and Savory. And of course fudge and candies.
We are all stuffed toads by the time we got to the gifts.
I think we all had a very nice time and a lot of laughing.

I gave everyone scarfs for Christmas and some put them on there heads.
O hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.

!0:00 PM finish

 I finally finished my bag and the 4 candle mats. I think I am done with my sewing for Christmas. (I hope!)

 I also got this fast table runner done to day. DD Jennie said she needed a birthday gift for a friend out of the coffee fabric so I made a simple one for her today. She needed it in the morning.

I will spend the day wrapping or should I say bagging gifts. I hate to wrap gifts. Bagging them is so much faster!
I am off to Omaha Sunday to pickup my DGD Kristin she is coming  home from Seattle. She is a high school  English teacher there. It will be good to see her.
It's late so keep sewing and stay warm!     Flicsha

Finish it up Friday! really!

 I got a lot done yesterday and hope to finish things today. Well all my sewing that's been going on . I started Oct. 1st. and have been going hard.
I finished the top bag Wednesday and got it in the mail.
I did the other 2 yesterday.
I also got the rest of my mug rugs  done last night.

 

I got some things wrapped. I used the shopper adds. I did use metallic cored to tie them. When you live in a town of 300 and some and 25 miles to a town that would have wrapping paper you get creative. repurpose and reuse.

I hope to get the rest of my candle mats done along with one last bag.

I will post finished things later.

Keep warm and keep sewing!
