Third Quarter 2015 Finish Along list.

Rugs of Mug?

First official finish for 2015.

 Nothing like a get together with family...sitting around chatting...eating good food...doing a little sewing....that's how to get things done!

There is still time to link up to this year's Finish Along ...other than the fact that this is great inspiration...or a kick in the butt...to get something finish there are also fabulous prizes at the end of each quarter. The more you finish the more your chance to win!

Here is a little peek of something else I finished...but can't show it all to you yet!:)

It's still really cold here...snow is still on the ground and now...ugh...we are expecting freezing rain tonight into tomorrow...

...I want to be here...don't you?:)

1st quarter 2015 list.

Sand, Sunsets, Selvedges, a Flower and a Shower!

 Ahhhh...Outer Banks of North Carolina in October.....Awesome!

While climbing the largest sand dune on the east coast at Jockey's Ridge State Park we watched all the varied looks of a sunset with the girl who is home for a visit from the UK.

 What could be better?

 I'm not the only one that was taking photographs.

 Looking over the Sound.

 Worked on a double Grandmother's Hexy Flower....we are making kits for these at work!

Speaking of work...that was the real reason we were at the beach, so Don could remodel a bathroom and do a few other things.

 He didn't get a lot of time to relax. Among the many things he worked on during our week at the beach this was the main change....from this tub/shower insert to this...

...lovely marble tiled shower!

 While there I finished my Round Robin quilt....is this staged nicely enough Lynz?:) I had to wait til we returned home so I could put the couch pillows on the bed!

Yesterday I did my first selvedge blocks for Hollie at our Sew Fun Bee.  I don't think I'll be making any more because I just don't remember to save my selvedges!

Hope you've had time to enjoy a great sunset!
