I am finishing a quilt block swap ... from December ... which is effectively a swap with myself since I missed the deadline - my daughter called on the way to the hospital (in labor with Baby #3) just as I was finishing the last group of 5 blocks. OF COURSE there was NO time to mail these out to the swap coordinator so we just dropped it and jumped in the car. OF COURSE I was finishing it up with 30 minutes to go until the PO closed. OF COURSE I was in a rush to finish them and I made a math error in planning and ended up with twice as many blocks as planned on. OF COURSE the one time I had delusions of swapping out and getting LOTS of blocks for a real scrap quilt it didn't work out. But it'll be a nice small-ish wall hanging or ... something.
Our swap was batiks onlyonlyonly - a 6x6 finished center unit (any block pattern, any technique) with 1 1/2" strips sewn to only two of the sides (making it a finished block of 6 x 7), so that when they're pieced together two sides have a built-in border.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Today I plan to put borders on a quilt I have had in the works for weeks. I keep getting distracted with other projects.
Hello! What is a felt heart sucker cover and how do you make them? And more importantly....why so many? You are definitely a wonderful grandmother for taking this on!!!! :)

We had a beautiful day yesterday, melting all over the place - mainly concerned with the roof since we had it raked about a month ago and want to protect it. We just had a new roof put on last May to the tune of $5,000 (small house) and have to keep it for the rest of our lives (guaranteed for 30 years), which would put us at 102 years old and I am sure by that time, we are not going to too much care, right? We are expecting a whole week of 40 and above degree days and will lose a lot of this dirty frozen mess here and am looking forward to sunshine and thaw.
I am finishing up a baby quilt. I have one more side to bind, throw it in the washer and dryer and box it up and give it to the parents - they live across the alley!
That is my project for the day - and maybe, just maybe, I can do a little of our income tax. I have to figure out if we will use the 1040A or the 1040 or the 1040EZ. We can just do the short form actually. That is what is going to take the longest.....seeing which form will give us the most money back.
Spring is a'comin!!!!! Edie

I'm going to work on two UFOs, won't be able to finish them today but getting close. Then the usual stuff of daily living. It is Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr here and it snowed again again again last night. Hope everyone is doing well. Make yourself a good day.

Yesterday was just tooooo nice to stay in the house here! 40 + degrees and today is to be 50's! 60's by Tuesday!!
After those -23's and -18's it is such welcome weather.
We washed vehicles, they were so in need of it. Cleaned Rabbit pens, let rabbits out for a bit to enjoy the sunshine, and just over all enjoyed the warmer weather and Sat on the deck and had coffee.

I've been working on my table mat and mug rugs to bring to our friends in FL next month.
Also working on a lap quilt for my DH (which he knows nothing about yet) for his birthday in March. I'm not liking how it's turning out. I used a charm pack and they seem to have stretched out. Oh well, it's only for use on his chair and it will get lots of use. If he doesn't like it I'll use it and make him another one.
