It's raining, it's pouring....


And the stockings were hung....

Xmas decor complete...inside and out...


So now that i have most of my Xmas stuff done, I am trying to finish some projects around here...


I have 2 more of the 9 tile blocks finished, I think I have 3 left... I just love them...

These are percolating in my brain, trying to think of something to do with these...


And I dug this quilt top out from the summer. I had put it away for a couple reasons,

one was, I couldn't get nice borders cut at my house... I had no room... I had done two on it and they were not cut right,
So I need to redo the borders,

and the second reason was, I was scared to applique the bits on...

But, now that I've got some applique under my belt,
I am ready to tackle finishing this quilt...
It's been nagging me for a while, and I really want this one done. It's a favorite of mine...
time to make it a finish...

*****

It's a rainy day here... So we are laying low.... Hope you've had a lovely weekend!

  2. The granny squares stocking looks so cute and your WIPs great. I have had a couple of those uncooperative borders at my house too, but now I have finally made a dent in my UFO pile.

    It has been raining here as well, and I have finally dug out some of my advent decorations.

  3. I too love the turquoise and red quilt. My question is....did you plan it out so that there would be a diagonal stairsteps across the lower corner...do you plan any of them out, or are they just lucky like that? lol....really, I am wondering how what your process is.
    And yes, I love it!

  5. V - the turquoise and red quilt is wonderful. Does it really need a border?

  7. The tile blocks looks great - where did you get the inspiration? They remind of something from the Shelbourne Museum.
