Happy Monday!

I have two finishes to show for January, (whoo hoo)

 the first is the baby blanket I made for a co-worker.

And the second is a Rag Quilt I finished for my son's birthday.

He turned 16 on the 23rd of January. I have some extra Jets fabric so I told him I would make a matching pillow to go with the Rag quilt. (add it to the list...he,he,he)

Last Tuesday, my friend ME was here from PA. I had planned to work on Jenny's quilt but I missed placed the boarder fabric. I could not find it anywhere. Don't you just hate when that happens. Jenny's quilt now has a name, Jenny's Back to School Quilt. It still needs to be sandwiched and quilted. (I didn't get a chance to take a picture.)  We did have a great time, ME worked on her son's Irish Chain quilt which is just stunning! And I worked on the January's Bloggers BOM which once again I made backwards. I am going to give this block another try!

I run out of yarn to finish Megan's Scarf so must pick that up this week so that I can finish the scarf before winter is over. I did start another scarf since they are such a good pick up and go project.


Well that is enough of January...on to February! My goals for February are Jenny's Back to School Quilt, Megan's Scarf and a St. Patrick's Day Table runner. I have some other things I am working on too but I will leave them for another post.

Thank you for visiting!

One of my favorite things to do is to read blogs. During one of my blog hoppings, I came across a blog where you can post a list of your cross stitching projects. I thought that this was something I could do and help motivate me! This is my first WIPocalypse posting. Now if only I could remember where to link up to! Ugh!

Holiday Berries Sampler Block, part of the Ornament Pattern Club by Stitiching the Night Away.

Welcome 2012!

I've been waiting for you....
For the last couple of weeks, I have been looking forward to 2012. I've been given a lot of thought about what I want to accomplish in 2012. Finishing my UFO's is on the on the top of that list and this is the year when I get them done! My word for 2012 is FINISHED. I want to have many finishes. And everytime I have a finish I will be sharing them here with you.

I plan on posting my goals for each month to help me keep on track, so my goals for January are.....

Megan's scarf (started 12/11)
Baby Shower gift (started 1/2/12)
Jorge's rag quilt (started 11/10)
Jenny's quilt (started 11/11)

Jorge's rag quilt all cut out and ready to sew.

I hope to have a finish soon!

Thank you for visiting!

Happy Monday!

Pine Mountain Desgin

I gave this sweet snowman pillow to my sister for having us all for Thanksgiving.

It is one of my morning stitching projects.

Oh ya.....did you notice that my blog has been re-designed. Tiffiany from Another Pie in the Sky did the re-designing for me. She did such a great job! I am so happy with the new desgin.

What do you think about the new desgin?


Keep sewing!
