I am in again this year. I completed so many last year and enjoyed seeing everyone's great work.

Oksewglad...love the Christmas table topper/quilt. It is lovely and how nice to have one more thing finished! I am on the last side of the binding of quilt that will be my first finish of the new year. After I put the label on, I will post a picture.

oksewglad, My mother had 2 of that type of desk in the family room. My dad put slanted wood blocks under the feet to make the top surface level. She used them for end tables by the couch. Your picture brought back memories for me... I like the scrappy look of your little quilt, with all scrappy yellow stars. I like a lot of the 80's and 90's fabrics. Very cute piece, well done!

Thanks everyone....givio, this desk was in my country school--it was one of the last country schools in the late 60's still open. When the school closed, my sister and I each got a desk...We shared a bedroom and we used them to do homework at. I like the slanted block idea, thanks--the angled top makes it hard to display items.

If you have any trouble finding one oksewglad, just let me know....I can send you one of mine. Bwahahahaha. Love that border fabric!

Boy, spent many any hour sitting in one of those desks.. I had long hair back then, and the girl (should I say BRAT) that set behind me would always dip my pigtails in her ink well!!! She was still mean when we went into town to 'the big school', often wondered if the bad things she did ever caught up with her..lolo

I have one of those desks, and I have 2 dominoes glued to the feet to make it level. Hey, they're black, and they fit perfectly..lol I've used mine as an end table, night stand or just a table. One of my keepsakes for sure.
:thumbup:

I have two major UFO's that I desperately need to finish. One is a tumbling block quilt (queen size) I started for my youngest son in 2012.

This one is almost done.. hopefully will get the binding on today.
