What are you Reading?



I love author C. J. Box and especially his Joe Pickett series.  This is the newest book that just came out and today I purchased it for my Kindle.  Cannot wait to get into it as I know it will be another winner.  If you have not read this author I would suggest you start with book one of the Joe Pickett series and read in order.  The descriptions of the Wyoming scenery makes you feel like you are right there.

Fabric for New Quilt

 
As you can see from this photo there are blue, green and brown fabrics on the design wall ready to be cut for the next quilt.  An odd combination for a quilt?  Think blue background, brown owl and limb, green leaves.  Check back in a few weeks and maybe, that is a big maybe, I will have some of the blocks sewn together.

Design Wall January 28 2013

 
These are the Swoon quilt blocks that I have been working on.  It started with one yard of fabric a friend brought me from Hawaii.  It will definitely have a Hawaiian  theme.

Finished Quilt 2013


This is the first quilt I completed in 2013.  The fabrics were from one of my sweet daughters and I added a few from my stash.  I love this quilt block and it was so much fun to sew.  Enjoy.

Progress

This was a list of unfinished quilt projects that I wrote the beginning of 2011.   Two years later I reviewed the list and was pleasantly surprised to find that most of the quilt projects have been completed or near completion.   I would love to get the finished quilt tops quilted in 2013.  And of course I now have new projects that I started in 2012 and have not finished and they will be on my 2013 unfinished project list.  Happy quilting in 2013.

Design Wall November 12 2012







Another UFO has been pulled out and I started working on it this weekend.  I think I need some practice taking pictures!  Dresden Plate design has twenty blocks and probably another border.
