Wow, you ladies are so talented. I think I need to search for an amateur board. I do believe I have been on the professional site.

I woke up to 63 degrees here in Auburn, AL today. The forecast is for a high of 76 today. Very un-January weather we're having, and everyone's been so sick here because of the swing back and forth from hot to cold. First of the week, the low was still around 40, and they're calling for it to be back around freezing by Tuesday night.

Since my runner is done and I don't have any other swap names yet, I'm hoping to get a couple other sewing projects done this weekend. I have a fairly simple playmat that I have to do for my boyfriend to take it to his nephew in Denmark in 11 days that I got the fabric for a couple days ago. I also have some cute owl fabric that I'm going to use to make a tissue box holder/trash receptacle for a friend's MIL who is in assisted living. She always sticks everything in her pockets, then my friend takes her laundry home and ends up with a washer and dryer full of washed tissues. She uses a walker, and it goes everywhere with her, so if we can get her in the habit of using this, since I'm making it to attach to her walker, then it'll make it easy for everyone, including the nurses where she lives. My friend said if I make this, I may end up with a home full of retirees who all want one too!

Twinkie, you're too modest. Anastasia's been quilting less than a year. I've been back into sewing at all less than 2 years. I think there's plenty of us in this group who will tell you that we're far from professionals. You fit in here with us just fine.

Well I got mine in the mail this early am after being up with it 'til 3 am 'cuz someone thought that today was the 15th after looking at the wrong calendar!!! I sure hope that my partner likes it. You should get it around Tuesday the 15th.

Well that is one of 2 small projects off this month's list. I'm off to grab some COFFEE, food, tv and handstitching in that order. HAGD!!

Toodles,
Tricia

I didn't get my Boom 8 blocks done until 1/1/13 then I started on my table runner. I should have it done today or tomorrow so it will go out in the mail on Monday via priority mail.


Here's a peek at 3 of the 7 fabrics I used. I know what you're thinking!................'Say whaaat? Do they even go together???'

oldcatlady I love that Jinny Beyer snowflake fabric; can't wait to see your finished table runner.

It's kind of a windy cold day today - everyone have a great weekend.
