New and Old

This past week I did some old and tried some new! For the old... I finished up another UFO.... this was a table mat from Happy Camper fabrics.... I have the placemats...napkins...potholders and mats already in use but the table mat just never got done... well now it has joined the others on my kitchen table!!

Next is to use up some fruit and veggie fabric to make placmats to go with the fruit/veggie pinwheel table mat that has been finished but not used cuz the placemats never got done........

For the new ... I made a cathedral window block........ hmmmmmmmm I love the look but I don't know if there are many ( or any) more of these in my future! They are quite a bit of work and if I make smaller ones it will involve a LOT of handsewing... gonna have to contemplate this one........... lol

I did two blocks from the Civil War Quilts BOW.... prepared another set of honeybun strips for a bag......worked on my itty bitty blocks for the March teacup swap. I also have my mini quilt with the Dots theme ready for binding and labeling and I have the fabrics and pattern gathered for the 3D mini also for march mailing........I also did 3 more pincushions so now I have 7 ready for the pincushion swap... hopefully my partner will choose one... if not... I know which one I'll be sending off.......and lastly I have another ufo table mat backed and batted and ready for quilting......... this one is burgundy navy and green and I reallly like this one.... won't be a kitchen table mat since I dont' have any fabric for napkins or placemats........I might turn it into a wall hanging....... we'll see... I even have the binding for this one!

I have just 9 more color blocks left to do on my scarf for the Colts Stadium SuperBowl 2012 project...that's about 27" or so I guess..........I'm shooting for the end of february to have it complete... I have other knitting waiting and plenty of handwork coming too!

flickr's been updated for this week......so I guess that's about it for now........

have a warm and wonderful week!
