The horses is from a pattern origionally published as "Big Blossom Quilt"
The oriental one is my our creation, inspired by a book published in the '70's. Since my orginazation is so poor, can't find it at the moment. It used focus squares and common setting squares. Have used that book lots.

Rob - your trivets are marvelous. I looked up the instructions and immediately said "nope, not for me". It must have taken ages to wrap fabric around the clothesline. But if you wanted to make me a couple in your spare time....

Here’s a pic of finished UFO. [ATTACH=CONFIG]584587[/ATTACH]This is at least 7 years old, it was a bom. My second one [ATTACH=CONFIG]584591[/ATTACH]is my 2.5” log cabin, after I made an adjustment to 16 blocks to get the center design. Many squares were from swaps on the board. Both quilts were quilted by a Laq. I used the tutor from this board for the 2.5” log cabin. That’s all for this month. My next projects will be smaller projects.

Then put the whole shebang on the table with the vintage Kenmore and....you guessed it. There they sat waiting for me to just do the things. They ended up being a lot of fun to make, so I don't know why I waited for so long. I still have enough clothesline for 4 more, so I'm thinking they'll make some nice Christmas presents for the folks who are hard to buy for! And that will also finish up 4 UFOs in December!
I also put the felting attachment on the PQ1500s and got busy felting up some of the 14 year old bags of wool tops that I had been intending to use on a couple of UFOs. I spun all the yarn I wanted from them 14 years ago and they have been taking up space ever since. If I manage to get any finished pieces out of them I'll add them to the UFO total, for now, they're still unfinished...
So here's the two that count as November finishes.
