Finally...............a quilt finish
This quilt top is over a year old. I went a little overboard cutting bricks so I've been able to make several of these quilts. One more and I'll be done with the Bricks and Stepping Stones.
This is a Bonnie Hunter pattern except I think she used 2" squares instead of the 2 1/2" that I have used.

Zipper Purses Done
Here are some of the dozen zipper purses I finished today. I like that they are lined and there are no raw seams on the inside.

Hey, Second Post in One Day
11 recycled books. I did as many as I felt like cutting pages for. The covers measure 4" x 4", the pages are 3 13/16" square. The neat gadget that punches the holes and then bends the wires closed is a Bind it All.
Candy Bar Snowmen
I made these for a craft fair next Saturday. I agreed to share a table which might not have been a good idea. How much can I produce in this short a time? I do have some socks made but not a whole lot else. One good thing: there won't be a table fee.

Testing 1.2.3
I'm having problems getting pictures from the camera to the pc. Now I'm going to try to get them from my ipad to my blog post.
This picture is from 20 years ago when I attended Grandparent's Day at BRES.

Days for Girls project
I've been working on this project off and on for a couple of months: daysforgirls.org
This uses up the flannel I had on hand (I have since received a tote of flannel which I'll get working on as soon as I get to the laundromat to get it washed and dried.
I'll be sending:
27 shields
30 drawstring bags
100 regular menstrual pads
27 post partum pads
Quilts for tornado victims in Kentucky and Indiana
This is when I feel I really should have done more to follow through on my New Year's resolutions. I could have had a lot more quilts to send to the tornado victims. These are the 6 I have on hand that I'll be sending tomorrow. These have already appeared here on my blog as they were finished, probably in December and January.

Using up Yarn Stash
I started this "Knots on Front Afghan" yesterday. Finished it today.
I have 3 smallish cardboard boxes with small balls of knitting worsted left over from the 100 hats project. I still probably have enough left for another afghan. I'll work on that before I switch projects and start on the pink and blue baby hats for the military hospital.
Oh dear, I should be working on quilts. I'll be getting back to them as soon as I get my fill of machine knitting.
