I just finished a table runner for our guild's quilt auction and want to start some "girly" pillowcases that I will crochet lacey looking edgings on. Maybe I"ll start them tomorrow. Tonight I'm going to work on the english paper piecing project I started before I got wrapped up in making Christmas gifts. It's using 3 different shapes and the fabric looks like my blue & white china plates. It's for a friend if I ever get it done LoL.

I lost my quilting motivation about a year ago, and I finally sat at my machine last week. I hope to finish my Turning Twenty quilt top finished this week.

First I have to grade papers from a math quiz that I gave on Friday....then I will work on fitting two pieces of a postage stamp quilt together---looks like some of my seam allowances weren't perfect so there is some variation where there definitely should not be any! Then I need to cut the star and center pieces for the batik Log Cabin Star that I am starting....

I'm working on the last 10 blocks for my Fresh quilt from Camille Roskelly's book, Simply Retro. http://www.amazon.com/Simply-Retro-C.../dp/1607056844
It's pictured on page 7 if you click the Look Inside on this link. I've been wanting to do a HST star quilt for a while, and thought this one is just lovely. I also purchased layer cakes in the same fabric line as shown.

Need to work on a tiger quilt for my 7 year old grandson! Got it started, 3 blocks done; then, yep, had to rip out part of the 3rd block because I put the wrong color piece in. The color code chart (or my eyes) is just really horrible! Laid it back out, and guess what ~ there is another piece that has to be ripped out and replaced. GGGGRRRRRRRRR!

Had a free mini class exposure to "Zentangles" last week and I have been trying to doodle on 6inch squares of muslin. It is kinda interesting. You can find examples on Pintrest with instructions on how to make the various shapes. Then CBS Sunday morning just had a segment on doodling and it's benefits. The instructor made quilt blocks from her Zentangles but I think they could be used for labels if you leave the center area open. Also working on a Civil War sampler I bought on sale at a LQS. enjoy your extra day if you are lucky enough to have a 3 day w/e.
