Time to Sew!




It is a beautiful November morning! The sun is making the lawn look like crystals with the overnight frost. To-day I plan to do some sewing and get caught up with all the projects on my list for Christmas and also finish a UFO. A UFO in quilt world is an "Unfinished Object" and there seems to be a few waiting around in nicely stacked plastic storage boxes. I must say I do have a couple of empty boxes and so there are at least two less UFOs.
To the left is a picture of a quilt I made for our Daughter and Son-in-law this summer. Before their wedding in August I made blocks and took them to showers for the bride. Her friends and relatives then signed the blocks with good wishes.
The Court House Steps quilt (top left) was a project we did at our Retreat this fall at camp Iawah. It will be so much fun to see the different colours of the quilts that all the other participants at the Retreat made.
The other quilt above was a block of the Month we did in our local group. Some of the blocks were quite challenging, and that was fun.
