Snow Pictures

The snow this week was so pretty! I only wish I could get a snow day. When you work from home, there's no such thing. Oh, well!

Here's the front yard. Mom, remember the Cedar of Lebanon tree?

Another shot of the front yard.

And once you've been outside, come in and enjoy the fire!

Quilt Retreat

We had an in-town quilt retreat last weekend. It's so nice to sew with friends and go home and sleep in your own bed. We had a very, very fun time - even with the snow and the cold. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves about the talent in the group!

Finishing Up!

Happy New Year to all! I hope you have had time to do whatever you love. I have really been working on completing some of my UFO's and have made a dent! Most of the quilts completed are small and I can't even tell you when they were started. I hope you enjoy the slide show!

Some quilts I really liked and wanted to give them their own space here. From my favorite group, Jo Jo's Little Women at Jo Jo's Quilt Shop in Chesterfield, VA, here are two versions of the same quilt. We're working from Lori Smith's book, Fat Quarter Quilting. Here is the first quilt of the year, Baskets, 30's Style

This was a fun quilt! Cute as can be - 16" x 20"
Then I made a version with no applique that is 18" x 24"

Hanging in our den right now is Snow Friends! Nice to come home to! This is 52" x 63 1/2"

This is my favorite finish of the year. It's from Merry Mayhem - Mystery #136 that she did New Year's Day. It's just right up my alley today. This one is 60" x 71 1/2". I hope you love it!

So, I've completed a lot! But I also found a lot of projects I didn't have on my list. Here is where I stand for 2014
