Been a Busy Two Weeks!

Asterisk quilt top for Round 7 of the ORBC Quilt Along finished and waiting for winter for hand quilting. Too hot right now!
Ziplock baggie project to keep in my purse....1895 batiks...1 1/2" hexies.
Doll Quilt Swap 9 now living in it's new home in California.
Advent Calendar Swap....I had days nine and... twenty-one.
These two were the practice ones...so of course they are mine. My beading got much better on the others! They are 3.5" square.
Mystery quilt Clue 1...I made a mistake already. See that pile of 64 finished triangles in the middle? They look like the opened one below them....but they are supposed to look like the one on the left....hence the new pile of 128 triangles waiting to be sewn...but I just couldn't do it tonight!
Maria's graduation present..1 year 3 months late. At least she got it before going to the UK! That's an "M"....not a "W"!;)
Speaking of UK.....Maria's first purchase!
WVU colors!!
And still speaking of UK....present from coworker and pal Kerry at Webfabrics...I'm wearing them tomorrow!:) Thanks Kerry!

What we see driving down our dirt road...
...a deer and his gobbler pal!
I love the country!!

  2. The emdroidery on your doll quilt is adorable - love that barn!!

    I love the colours on your asterisk, too. I'm thinking about hand quilting my new Christmas quilt - is it difficult? I've never done it.

    Great earings! *g* And Maria's wellies are cool beans!

  5. It could be a W. I see a V in there too. It's just a multipurpose stamp letter thing.

  6. My favorite pic, of course, is the deer, but my other favorite is the doll quilt - wish i could see the whole thing! By the way, I was thinking of you last night - I sorted through my scraps that I won from you! Love them! I am putting them to good use and loving it! Thanks again!
