    Teen, your Classic Santas are coming out adorable! Great colors, great pattern.

    Anael, your blocks are so pretty. I just love the colors. Your making great progress.

    I have been very busy. I sent two quilts off the the quilters. Giant Scrappy Swoon and Pink/Orange Depression Block quilt. I have my Son-In-Law's Red/White/Blue Patriotic quilt almost ready to go to the quilters. I had problems with the borders and had to remove them and start again. I also had problems with the backing. I had to return it. It all pelled the first time I tried to wash it for the backing. It was a mess. I was lucky they took it back. I also started the "Seeing Stars QAL". It's a weekly quilt along found here: http://www.happyquiltingmelissa.com/...-schedule.html It makes up fairly quick seeing as your making the blocks weekly. I'm waiting for the last step to come out. I am ahead right now.



    These last two quilts will be the last I send off to the quilter's for the year. I will have to start saving to have quilts quilted next year. I think my goad was to have 8 quilts LA'md this year. And, I think I will meet that goal. Looks like next year is going to have UFO's on it again. I kind of went off grid and made and had several new quilts LA'md. Oh well, I guess I'm not making new UFO's. Right?!! LOL

    Thank you, Judith.... Your quilt is beautiful. I love your color choices. And, congratulations on finishing so many quilts this year and meeting your goal. UFO's will get done and the fact that you are not adding to it is an accomplishment in and of itself. Great job...

    We'll be heading home on Thursday. Good thing....I have only one more Santa block I brought to work on, which I'll do this week. I finished another one last night. I just love this quilt, so far...

    Here is Good King Wenceslas.....he was fun, too...the chubby thing...

    Hahahaha I love your Good King Wenceslas. He lived from 1361 - 1419, had a drinking problem, was deposed as a king and lived in captivity between 1402 and 1403. I love history

    Teen, Your applique Santas are adorable. Love the idea of having them on a pieced background.

    Judith 1005, Great job on your Star quilt. Love your color selection,

    Good grief, Anael....you just ruined this quilt for me after learning a drunk and ex-convict will be featured on it. I have family pictures that do the same thing...I don't need this in my quilts, too. Geesh...
