    I think I've decided that my Nativity wall hanging is going to be concerned finished...because I am pitching it. I've tried for several years to make it work & it is not only ugly but scary ugly. I enlarged the pattern too much & it's freaky. *sigh* time & fabric wasted but I gotta move on.

    The pictures of finished quilts, totes, bags & all are fabulous! I am green with envy!!!!

    If the fabric pieces are large enough, can they be salvaged to use in another project? (Can you tell I'm a scrap collector!?!) :lol:

    wow, that was easy! okay, you can see that when I enlarged the pattern it threw everything off & poor Mary & Joseph look terrible. Jesus still look sweet.

    those are wonderful!!! Quite lovely!!

    Mine might be okay if it was hung from the ceiling or somewhere very far away! LOL. You, however are very kind. I did post a few quilts on the picture thread that I do like.

    Here's my February UFO completed (after hiding in the closet for 10 years). I did the top when I was in my "Florida" phase. A friend saw it a few months ago and asked if she could buy it. SURE, I said. It got bumped up to the 2010 challenge list. I'll take it to her tonight when we have handbell practice. It'll have a very good home.

    It feels so good to finally be doing something with these UFO's (I didn't even want to count how many). But with this challenge I'll have at least 12 done in 2010. YEAH!!!
