Time Crunch

It is getting down to the wire...2 days left of break. I was able to work on a couple Dear Jane blocks (5) and uploaded them to the "virtual" Jane where you can see your progress...or lack of ;o)

I received my first class's syllabus today...yes that will be starting soon. Well here is one of the blocks where the light print was cut 7/8" wide! It was the "K9" block...ha-ha, get it?

I also was able to do my first installment of another block of the month club from one of my favorite online stores, Homestead Hearth. It is called Old Hickory. It will be very easy to do...not much thinking which is going to be good for me in the next year. k

Bob and I bought new phones about a month ago and I am just figuring out stuff on it. I took some pictures with it and uploaded them to the computer. I don't think I ever posted a picture of Rex, one of our vision impaired Great Danes. Here he is with his pug buddies, P. Buddy and Smudge. Yes, P. Budd is resting his head on Rex...but he's sitting up to reach ;o)

I have finally been quilting again this winter break! Yippy. Also, don't faint that I have posted too! Things have been busy with work, school, family...yes we all know how that is. I finished the top and back for a Moda U quilt that I have had for a long time, Patchwork Tiles, using Northwoods fabrics. Oh and you ask where did I get it from...well from bad Melisa's of course. It has been put away because I cut something wrong and just didn't want to deal with it....and it was only on one block. In kits, if you make a booboo and can't recut the "big" booboo piece again, well you just have to buy more! Well of course it has been a while, but I did find the fabric online and it only came in a fat quarter pack...yes we bought the whole thing. I am using the extra fats for the backing and cut of a 2 1/4" of each to use as the binding. I had only 4 whole fat quarters left, a finished top, back and binding. One down...hmmm how many more to go?
I have also been working on a block of the month from Jan Patek. I probably shouldn't say what year, but it is being all hand appliqued. I really enjoy this. I have 2 more months to go and then it goes together...okay it is from 2007 BOM program, but it is hand done...so I am clear!
I hope everyone has had a happy holiday and I am looking forward to a new year of good times. k
