ufo's

 i finish another one of these for my  hubby's mom and dad. delivered it at the wedding sat.
 then i made some hour glasses to go with 9-patches , then i remembered i was should have every other row of hour  glasses after i sew it together  now i like it this way. or i'm lazy.
so because i  finished the last to i can play with my sister breanda's star blocks . she made after our mom past away from moms  fabric.  and asked me to finish them last summer.  i really like the little stars .

two little finishes.



I was pulling from my basket of shame this week and had a baggy full of 4-patches ? After thinking on different patterns and stash of fabric to use with it  Jacobs ladder won. So then i moved on to Heather's tops. Some how that led to cleaning and organizing the sewing  room ,bedroom and living room. Please stop me now, yes i paid for this in my ankles but the rooms look great and have been clean and declutter. I really the quilts on the two shelves. Whats happening in your world.?
