Do you have pictures of these?? They sound very interesting!
I guess I better dig out the unfinished projects from last Xmas. Maybe finish some of those!!

I am going to be busy as they come in December because I will be shutting the service end of the business down 2 weeks before the big day and I will be quilting like mad!!

54 DAYS......Wow, that give me lots of time LOL...
Seriously, I started in January and have now finished 10 baby quilts for QFK, 4 lap quilts for nephews and 1 full size quilt for favorite sil. Decided yesterday to start another "big boy" quilt for my great nephew since the only one he has from me is his baby quilt. He is 5 years old and loves Thomas the train and Cars (what little boy doesn't these days).. I'll do a simple 9 patch and use up some odd stuff from my leftovers.

Applique,
I got the inspiration for making fabric/quilted cards from this board. I am not very creative, but I can copy like heck! That's why I appreciate the wonderful folks on this board who post photos and tutorials of their work. Check out the tutorial by DJ called "fabric cards - tutorial."
I also looked at this very excellent tutorial:
http://craftapple.wordpress.com/2006...ards-tutorial/
My cards are a combination of techniques I found on these two tutorials. I'm using holiday fabrics, and have completed 44 cards so far. Of course, you can use any fabric and make greeting cards for any occasion. Very cute!

I've got a queen size quilt in the machine right now (sewing machine, not long arm machine) in the beginning quilting stages, also a major paper piece quilt (stadium throw size) for my mother, and another queen size for my pastor. And ONLY 54 days you say?
