I just finished a Christmas scrap top and am in the middle of another one. My goal is to have one for each of my 4 children and 5 grandsons for next Christmas. Also, in my "spare" time I am embroidering Christmas blocks in redwork for a Christmas quilt for myself. I have lots in mind for this year and so far am doing pretty well. A red, white and blue strip and a redwork snowman quilt for my DD; a Four Freedoms for my oldest son, a forest green and cream (don't know the name of the pattern) for my middle son and an Irish "greenwork" for my youngest son. Then I'll go to work on a couple that my DH wants. Then there are always the little inbetween things like towels and table runners. It's going to be a busy year!

I found the pattern online for the basic pincushion but I made hexagons to cover mine.

Wow! Thanks for sharing the pattern. Some of my sewing buddies will be getting this for Christmas next December.

My present project is a Garfield quilt for my son. (He is in his 30's) Here are a photos of two of the blocks. I'm finishing up a block of Garfield as Capt'n Jack Sparrow and have two sketches of the last two blocks of this 9 block quilt. It has been lots of fun and takes time as I always have several "irons in the fire" projects. These Garfields are all machine appique.

I'm putting the binding on a race car and stripe for my guys youngest grandson. I have a monster truck one to finish for my grandson and a flamingo one for my sister which she'll hate cause she can't stand those birds but thats okay. It's why she's getting it. Would post pics but for some reason when i try now it won't let me any more . I was able to post them at one time cause i have pics of a couple i made on here.

I'm putting together 12 blocks made by 12 members of the Sew'n'Sew Bee into a lap quilt for my sister who is undergoing chemotherapy after surgery for Uterine Cancer. I purchased the "official" Uterine Cancer Teal fabric from Blank Fabrics and gave each member 3 different fat eights. This will be a suprise for my sister, who organized the same Bee to make a Pink wall hanging to help me get through the five separate surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy I had for Breast Cancer. When it is finished and before we present it to her, I will post a photo. The Bee members took a lot of time and care to make lovely blocks (and they ALL measure 12-1/2 inches unfinished!).

I am working on a UMS quilt. We have the University of Southern Miss here in Hattiesburg and this is my second one.
All have to do is the binding, my favorite, ha.

My New Year's resolution is to quilt! I have two teens and am a home school mom so I never have "extra" time. I'm also taking online classes to get my teacher's certification...

Today I am starting a scrap quilt based on the Eleanor Burns Quilt in a Day book "Scrap Quilt". My DD's sewing has left lots of wonderful scraps so I'm going to love making a memory quilt of sorts of her 4-H sewing projects.
