The border's are a bit wavy. I think I pulled the thread too tight when I hand quilted it.

DublB .. nice finish on your FFC!
The LadyBugs are too darned cute .... what plans do you have for them?

Anael ... your set of blocks are building nicely. Looks like you can continue on with your I Spy's now that you have a new shipment!!

GGal ... glad you are starting to feel better. Just in time to make that final Spike and join them together. I REALLY like what you have done ... so, yes, am anxious to see them all together. I'll "try" to be patient!! :

Another big storm here today! Overnight it is to be super-cold!!
Spring is coming, right?

Hey Ya'll thank's for the complements. The ladybugs are for a swap. I'll git one o' 'em back along /11 other ladybug blocks. I'm gonna give 'em ta my DGD & have her learn how ta sew 'em tagether. I've bought some lady bug fabric ta make squares ta go between the blocks.

Making progress on my MB quilt. I started sashing at my retreat, finished today and started putting the green sashing on. I thought I would share what I have so far because the next step will be to quilt each block and I am not sure how long it will take. I am using Jan's method of quilting with just batting and then adding a whole backing. You can see in pics 2 and 3 that the afternoon sun was coming in so I couldn't get a good picture of the whole quilt. I have a batik outer border that has all the colors from the blocks.

I am going to switch a couple blocks on the right lower corner....the green and the purple blocks.

QNS--I am going to use your 2nd block on the bag I make to hold this quilt when it's not being used.

good job, Dublb.

Carrie, I like your plan! It is going to be great finish.

Our taxes are done; company is coming on Monday and I am feeling better. Maybe my knee will ease off the hurting curve and I can clean house a bit. Like to finish Dear Jane A-9 and 10, and do the batiks, A-1 to A-10.

Hi Everyone, I've been sitting on the back burner just trying to take it easy on myself. My dental problem was hopefully taken care of last Tuesday..sat in the chair all doped up for 3 hours...have to wait now to see if the treatment works..I have a temporary cap on it...I now have a crooked smile..the area is still swollen as of today...My knee lets me know when to sit and I've been doing a lot of it..I pay for it at night when I try to sleep if I don't...I have a new ailment..I must have caught something from the kids cause now my right eye is itchy and tearing and it looks like it's going black underneath..like a raccoon ...I had a little bit of vertigo yesterday...first time in years...so you see I really feel like I'm falling apart at the seams..I have no interest in doing anything..I just sit and worry about what's happening to me..sat at the machine putting together some old precut blocks I've had for years...that was a few days ago....I have been lurking in all the threads we go to so as not to miss anything I just don't have anything to contribute so I stay silent. H.
