Juanitabean-I am so sorry for your losses. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I finished a UFO tonight. It is a gift, so I will post the picture after I give it to the recipient. I am loving these finished quilts/table toppers. Gorgeous!

My condolences Juanitabean. There is nothing more comforting that a relationship with God during our times of trouble. I'm sure you are feeling shell shocked with so many loses coming so close together.

Love the tumbling block.

18 + 1 finish that sounds really good to me for the month.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers and nice comments on my quilt.
We have had some great UFO finished this month.

I'm so terribly behind on my UFO work :(. I'm going to try to devote some time to them next week. Fingers crossed!

Well said WMUTeach...I think this is such a lovely pattern; could see it done in a smaller size as a wall hanging.

JuanitaBean, you are in my prayers. I know what you're going through, as a couple of years ago, we had 6 deaths in our family within just a few months, two of which were both of my parents. And, yes, we could not have made it without a loving heavenly Father!

I finished Oakley's quilt, and took it with me when I went to Raleigh to spend the week with him and his new baby sister Ellie. I didn't sew a single stitch, as I was too busy soaking up all the baby and toddler love!! Oakley loves his quilt, as he is "truck-crazy".

So, this will take care of my minimum of 1 UFO per month. I stitched around all the cars and trucks, and then did "pebbles" to simulate a gravel road. The borders have piano-key stitching. I apologize that the pics are not all that great - I dropped my phone, and think it's in dire need of replacement.

I'm trying to decide if I want to load the R/W/B Lone Star or a different quilt on the frame now. The Lone Star will be "custom" quilted, but if I want to finish a couple of others "quick", I have 2 or 3 that would do just fine with pantographs... which now that I think about it, is probably what I will do. I'd forgotten how tiring it is to deal with an almost-two-year-old while also taking care of a newborn. Whew! I need a rest!! :)

Anyway, here's Oakley's quilt.
