You Guys Are Awesome!!

I am just overwhelmed and excited with all the visitors and new followers.

I did not expect to GROW like this.

Thank you so much Amy Vicki, sorry about that Vicki) for

Mine certainly grew by leaps and bounds.

Thank you to everyone for your sweet and encouraging comments.

I am still answering all of the comments, so if I haven't gotten to you yet, I will.

 

Now let's see what's been happening.

I have had some medical issues arise, so I have had a lot on my mind and a lot of stress.

I will be out of commission for a week or so, so I am trying to get a lot done at home and at work.

I have jumped from one thing to another, not finishing anything.

It has been cold here, just like everywhere. 

But we are in the south our lows are suppose to be in the 30,s - 40's, not 3,s and 4's. 

I have not spent a lot of time in my sewing room studio because it is very cold in there.

 

I am still working on Diane's quilt.  Progress is slow, mostly because of the cold.

 

 

I have 1 more row of flowers to fill in with background and some on the border,

 but I am not motivated for some reason.

 

 

When I didn't feel like quilting I pieced some on the Dresden Plate

quilt for my late boss's (is that right?) wife made from his shirts.

I decided after I had a few rows sewed together

that it needed to be bigger so rip rip.

The centers will be black.  I tried different fabrics but always came back to the black.

What do you think? Black centers? 

Each of the blocks have one of two red shirts. 

          Would you use one of the red shirt as the middle?    

                          

This big star will be a quilt for one of his sons. This is about 24" square.

 

I made this wall hanging this morning. 

See what I mean about hopping around.

I should have worked on one of the above quilts

but oh no let's start something new.

 

At least I finished it. It's about 43X43,

I want to hang it in my office at work.

  I used Fig Tree's Jelly Star pattern but just made one block.

The fabric is by Sweetwater.

This was a test block to see if I wanted to make a quilt.

The answer is yes, I want to make a quilt using this pattern.

When I don't know.

 

 

Now I want to quilt it, but Diane's quilt is still on the frame.

 

I'm linking up with Sarah

Thank you for visiting.

Stay warm.

Think Spring.

I'm ready to complain about it being too hot!!
