I've got a bunch of creaky joints. I sleep a while and get up a while. I think and plan when I'm up or just completely waste my time on computer games.

Sorry, you're answering the wrong person. I can make my own templates for most blocks. But thanks anyway. Someone will appreciate your info.

The crazy eight strip teaser table topper. Finally had to sew the very center by hand to get the 8 points come together. Of course I'll have something on the center of the table topper so the center won't show. Loved doing it and will do more. I need to learn how to attach a picture so you could see this.

Applique on a baby quilt for my new niece. I am having to teach myself and I keep telling myself there must be an easier way.

Finally got the rag butterfly done. She's in the washer-----------hopefully ragging out to her heart's content.

The wings are made of a light weight cord print of leaves. So, her name will be Cordy! (I've had a dog named PUPPY and one named Slophound, so don't ask)

I just finished quilting my first "quilt". I used a panel and pieced two borders and appliqued some patches in a few places. I know it sounds a little odd but I think it turned out pretty well. Now I have to figure out binding!! I did a practice blanket for my dog and just turned the backing over as binding. Could do that on this as well but not sure I want to do that. Gonna think on it for another a day or two.

I will wish you much patience and an even hand and a machine that has no problems.

My Advanced class starts next month & the pattern has multiple borders, one of which is braided, a paper-pieced mariner's compass with ring and lots of appliqué. I can hardly wait, although I can imagine there is lots of moaning and cursing in my future for that six weeks.
