I have started this new thread to replace the old one which was just too full.

Here is something I'm working on.



I'm using fabric from the fabric swaps.

Just look at all these wonderful projects everyone has been working on! They are all coming out beautiful and adorable. It sure feels good when a project gets finally finished and then you can enjoy it.

I am still busy working on my cross stitch, but I am only down to one color left. Now the rest should go very quickly. I also made a cute crochet Christmas item for a swap. I cant wait to send it!

Thanks Karen and Judith. It's been fun to work on. Now I need to get it finished so I can start on some other Christmas presents.

Super cute Heather! The pumpkin looks like it would be at home on a sewing machine spool pin. I can't remember what they are called.

Since these have been received, so I won't ruin the surprise, I can now share them. I made some Halloween dishcloths:


Judith - As always, love the quilt blocks. Do you keep track of how many quilts you've made?

It's difficult for me to walk into a room of strangers but the wreath class was fun. I am probably the last woman in the civilized world to learn how to use a glue gun.

Linda -- if you have the 2 ½ strips it will go fast. Easy peasy and gets rid of scraps. Somehow my scrap bin is still full; pixies must be coming in the night and bringing more.

Judith, I love your potato chip blocks. I need to do 1 of those quilts. I have enough 2-1/2" strips it would be very easy to cut pieces and help Reduce my scraps. Scrappy quilts are my favorites.

Also, It is great to step out of your comfort zone once in a while. I love your wreath It looks so fresh.

Hi, Judith! I love your wreath! It reminds me of my Sister's farmland. So very pretty, and the crack is character!

Judith I find that term “potato chips “ very interesting. Your blocks are very nice. I have so many random pieces of fabric from swaps that I think I will spend one day cutting some rectangles. I would love the scrappiness of it all. Thank you for the inspiration.

Yesterday I stepped out of the comfort zone of my sewing room and took a wreath making class at a wonderful little nursery. It was a lot of fun and here is my wreath:

Ignore the crack in the wall; it's an old house.

Judith, interesting name for a quilt block, haha. Have fun creating and using up scraps.
I have been finishing up a block of the month quilt that someone had started and given up on. It is applique, and I finished up top stitching around those. Not something I would start for myself. Next up will be making a border and putting the whole thing together. Then once the outside work is all done, will get working on the double wedding ring quilt again.

Awesome, Krista! I look forward to seeing more!
Judith, I never knew that they were called "potato chips". I learn something everyday!

Today I am going through my scrap bin and cutting "potato chips" for a quilt guild project. Potato chips are 2 ½ by 4 ½ inch scraps of fabric that are put together to make a quilt block. Pictures to follow. Sometime.....
