When I was younger, I gave away everything I made and don't have anything to show for it.

Unfortunately, I do not have a picture of the quilt top I did for Homes for the Troops, but here are the pics of the tops and centers I did for Project Linus and the Carey Home----11 completed tops and 5 centers, plus some extra pieces for their use in other quilts.
Will have more pics to post soon--have completed 6 more UFOs--sewing like crazy to finish Xmas gifts....

I cleared out a tote--it feels great-----now if I could just get the rest of the spare room cleaned, and begin the de-stash.....
I wasn't going to buy any more fabric other than backing or something absolutely needed to finish a UFO, but found 6 remnants at the QS for $5---and two were just what I needed to finish Xmas gifts---five are 2 yds each. Took the first two to the counter, marked $1.50--and she said six for $5---could not pass that up!
And she had 108 and 90 wide quilt backing for half price--found a pretty print with yellow as DIL requested for $5 yard after spending hours online to no avail! Clark's Fabric at Kiowa Kansas.....!

I know how it feels to loose one, I just love my Dulsey, Every since the kids all left, my pets have become my Babies. And The mind better. LOL LOL
Makes me miss our much loved Ernie, who was a rescue from a puppy mill---he sure loved his last years--thought he was a LGD! Went out to pasture with our lambs and watched them assiduously from the pond bank---inside on the bed at night, but he loved to guard babies daytimes!
