Beautiful quilts Jaba. I think I'm partial to the orange, but then again, the purple has so much subtle patterning going on that I keep coming back to it.

OhCanada your stitching is exquisite! I'm looking forward to seeing this quilt finished. As far as starting on a new project or working on another UFO---just remember, you will need to have some UFOs on hand for next year's UFO challenge.....LOL

I finally finished the Jacob's ladder UFO that's been sitting around for a year or so. I quilted little circles and triangles all over it which don't really show up in the photos....

Thanks Anoka. I just got back from the gallery where I spent most of the day hanging my show. I'll post pics in the photos section this weekend after I've had time to recover LOL.

I have two finished UFO's so far this month.

Back in April of 2008 a few of us formed a sewing circle and had a crazy idea of making a banner for our little group. Because we always met at my house, and my front yard had 3 large Silver Oak trees, we decided to name our little group the Circle of the Silver Oak. One of the members was an artist and drew up the design. We used the crayon method to color the tree and that was all that was completed. In looking for some fabric for another project I found the banner folded between some other fabrics. This is the fabric that was used for the borders and that must have been our thought process at the time because of how all the fabric was together with focal piece. I added the borders, did some simple stitch in the ditch quilting, added my hanger, and got the binding all done. One member of the original group still sews on a weekly basis with me. I cannot wait till next week when we get together and she sees the banner.

In September of 2007 one of the local pattern designers, Diane Caruso, held a pattern testing workshop for her new design, Shoo Fly Pie, at one of the LQS. I had everything done except the final dark green border, the quilting, and binding. In 2016 when the holidays roll around this quilt will be ready.

Rob, your fabric choices on the Jacob's Ladder are just wonderful. It looks so art deco to me.

AnokaQuilter, I love your quilting circle story, and that is just about the most beautiful name of a group I've ever heard. It's a lovely banner.

Beautiful stitches, OhCanada!

Best of luck with your show Rob - hope you have a solid turn out! Take lots of photos.
And great finish on the Jacobs Ladder
