So sorry to hear you are frog stitching! BUT you will be grateful when you have it all out and start again with thread you like and maybe something completely different to feathers. It is never worth continuing with something you think may be all right - it never is in my experience; better to grip the bull by the horn (or the ripper and the quilting by the thread) and get rid of what you don't like.
Hope you get started again today.

The charity quilt is lovely, Jeanne and I am very intrigued by the second one. Not surprised you want that one for yourself. Is it basically a Log Cabin block or ? Great colours.

I am working on some some last minute quilting gifts to give to my neighbors.

Oh rats, I might have to stop reading. I see some of you are working on Bonnie's mystery, and I haven't even done clue #1 yet. Don't want to spoil the mystery, so I may hold off reading until I catch up. My plans for today are moving along nicely. Yesterday was dance, so no quilting done. But the final Christmas quilt is on my longarm and about 3/4 done now. Taking a short break before I finish it off. Next up - the last 4 or 5 blocks for my current project. A Kaffe Fassett quilt, done with his shot cottons.
Then, I'm going to tackle Bonnie's mystery, and see if I can get enough done to participate in her Monday linkup this week.

I am experimenting with EPP, I posted a picture of my first ever EPP, below. Much easier than the way I did my first ever quilt. I am using 1.25" hexies. I have to make one more gift also. My younger DD has always been teased about "her horns holding up her halo", so I am making her a gag gift. It is a pattern for those cute hats with faux animal fur and faces. hers is going to be made out of red fleece, but instead of ears, hers will have horns, and I am making a silver lame' circlet that will be held on by the horns! Will post pictures before I wrap it.

MagaQuilt, Here is a picture of the quilt pattern so you can see what I am trying to get to. I love modern neutral quilts and have made several of them. I have never made a log cabin pattern, but I think this one is very similar in construction; each block would be 1/4 of a design square, and it is sewn together using strips around a center square. Really easy.

I finished up a vintage scrappy quilt that I was using for practice of FMQ. I have been watching a Leah Day class on Craftsy. Thought this vintage quilt was a good place to practice.

Then my dog had to get in on the action as I was taking a picture of a quilt I finished a few weeks ago.

I wanted to be sewing a cover for my serger but I have a sinus problem that is making me a bit dizzy. Not sure this is the best time to use a rotary cutter.

I just finished both of these yesterday, so I'm going to take the weekend off from sewing. The only thing I have left to finish this year is a set of curtains for my MIL room that need to be done on New Year's Day.

Yesterday I got 3 of the pillows covered that I wanted to do, still need to decide on what to do for the last one. But I'm excited that I am halfway through making the blocks for a pattern of my own design. Laid them all out on the floor to see how they are going, just placed them into rows to see how it goes. I'm pretty pleased with them but think I need more of the ones with less contrast, the really high contrast ones are sparking!
