Settling in....

I'm enjoying getting back to the Farmer's Wife blocks.  I've done a couple more....




I did take a break and quilt Karen's baby quilt on my frame.... Love her mitered border! She bought a panel, cut it up, made squares of coordinating solids, arranged it to her liking, and called it done. I think it's Sew Cute!


And she pieced a binding with left over fabric and bound it.  This was her first machine bound binding - very durable for frequent washings and baby chewing, etc! 


Way to strike a project off the UFO list!

I caught this cute pic of Laurie wrapping her present for Jason (a humongous score at Target on Black Friday!)...


She eventually yelled for assistance/moral support from Karen.... 



And the job is done.  That thing is in front of the tree now.  It hides half of it! Mr. Jason will be thrilled!

Next up, another FW block tomorrow night, and the baking of our cookie tree for Mr. B.


This is the picture from the Wilton site showing how the tree should look.  Ours never end up quite like that, but Mr. B. doesn't seem to mind!

Fun X 100!
You have officially passed me up on FW. Those are great blocks. I hope to catch up soon so we can make this another UFO that bites the dust in 2012.
I look forward to the cookie tree. If you need help eating it just let me know.

Wonderful FW blocks...I love how they look. You get them so perfect...points and matched corners and everything. Humph. My projects don't turn out that way. LOL
Great pictures of the wrapping! Can't wait to see the finished cookie tree!!

Love the cookie tree. Yummo! as Rachel Ray would say. 8)

Isn't it a WONDERFUL feeling to get old UFO's finished? I love it.

Take care,
