Two More UFO's Bite the Dust

The Amish BOM quilt is quilted and the binding is halfway done........ just one short side and half of a long side to go......... it looks a bit better with the quilting...but it's still gonna become my car quilt!

The other UFO is a sewing machine mat with pockets... I got the kit for it almost 3 years ago in Illinois.... took about 90 minutes to make including the quilting... hmmmmm why do I do this? The mat is totally complete... binding is all done too!

The Purdue Quilt is now bound and off the pile........ one table runner is halfway bound......so that leaves 2 more table runners... a snowman wallhanging....a red/white/blue wall hanging... a wallet.......and ummmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmm that might be all! wow

I guess I'd better get going and get that WOB pile up again!

There are pics out on flickr of some of the projects I recently completed.... I have a birthday coming up in april and it's all done already! wow! I have to find some yellow or green for binding for the frog face quilt... its a limey green with yellow and has flying geese in bright orange and fuschia..so I could probably go with a bright orange also....... need to do some stash diggin!

I hope to work on aprils bitty blocks this weekend between basketball games..... NCAA weekend!

I'm doing an Alice in Wonderland Swap.... I have a cool idea for the cheshire cat and i'm doing a black/white plus 1 block... my plus one is a lime green......

if I get those done soon.... I plan on adding 12 birdhouse blocks.... but only after I get the other two sets complete........ I'm trying hard not to take on too much at one time.... I need to work on more UFO"s! However I did join a table top swap.... the first round is a set of 4 napkins...... I can do that pretty easily... I love making napkins!!

also on the to do list for the next 2 weeks is back and bat the feedsack and kitchen window quilts...... and back and bat a set of UFO placemats.... 2 UFO table toppers and a UFO baby quilt............ I have lots of batting.... the backing is a problem sometimes..........

The weather in Indiana has been very spring like........ bordering on summer! It was 68 this morning at 5 am.......... we had temps in the very high 70's almost every day this week too! Can it last?? Is mother nature just messin' with us?? Farmers almanac says snow storms the end of march...... we'll see.........
