My mystery blocks continue

I worked on two more blocks last night. Only a few more before I'm caught up. I will post some pictures when I get a chance.

Mystery quilt website

This is the site that I am following for the 24 month mystery quilt. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/apocketfullofmysteries/. I want to be sure to give her recognition.

Mom's quilt

I forgot to post a picture of the quilts my sister and I made for our siblings for Christmas. As I mentioned in a previous post, my mom passed away at the end of April and we thought it would be nice to make quilts for our siblings out of her clothes. So we set to work!! Here is a picture of two of my sisters, a brother and a cousin (who is like a sister) with their quilts on Christmas Eve. We put a nice little label on the back and had my cousin read it. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. Although mom wasn't a fashion plate, we think these came out pretty good. We tied the quilts rather than quilt them because ... well because we had to make 9 of them! I come from a very large family.

Moving along on my projects

I have been sewing for at least an hour every night. Makes me feel like I am accomplishing something. I made a list of my "to do" and have been trying to scratch things off. I had wanted to do a mystery quilt that was running for 24 months, but as life goes I didn't do any of the blocks and they are now on month 13. I am happy to say that I have finished 8 of the blocks so far. I am using only fabric that is in my stash (the fabric I am using was actually given to me by my friend's mother-in-law, its not something I would have purchased, but I am using it anyway) and have been trying to do at least one block a night. I have managed to get a couple of them done each night. Hopefully, I will continue going! I also managed to get a diaper made for my granddaughter for Valentine's Day -- and then last night threw one together for her doll. So cute!

I am still here!

Hi everyone!  I'm back again.  I have started a list of what I need to finish.  No more fooling around!  I have moved into a new sewing room and am still trying to get organized.  The cleanup of this room just showed me all the projects I've started and not finished.  Soooo -- I am determined to finish (or at least give it my best shot) one top a week.  You see -  have the tops done, they all need to be quilted.  I almost wrote they all just need to be quilted - but that is my biggest problem -- the quilting.  I love the actual sewing of the tops not so much the quilting part.  Anyway, that's my new new years resolution.  Hopefully it will last past one week.
