Keeping Busy

Goooood Morning to all of you!

To you all that have joined in following, to you all that have left comments, and to you all that just like to visit.  God bless all of you. I am so honored and truly blessed to be among you.

What a great day to be alive?  As I often say, and reminded that "tomorrow is not promised".  Okay, so with that said as an introductory note,  please say a word or two of prayers for the people of Haiti.  Give and donate in any way you can to help in their effort to recover from the earthquake.

Did anyone watch the special, Hope for Haiti Now?

Alright!  Here we go!  Here's what keept me busy this past week.

Just one finish.  This I made for an online friend who became a first time grandmother last year.  I had every intent to have it done for Christmas, but life took on its own path here. So as I am a person of my word, here it is finished and will be sent out next week.

Now on to a few starts.  The first two I will put on my five year plan.  LOL.

Prairie Schooler Alphabet SAL.  I waited to start this one because I could not decide as to whether I wanted to dye my fabby or not.  I decided I liked more of a brick and mortar (basic) look for this one, with the stark contrast of a white or cream background.  This baby is a whhhooping 46" wide.  Can you see why the five year plan?

S is for start here.  LOL. Believe I will travel from left to right and up.

Next, my other five year plan is Me, Myself, and I Round Robin.
I've entitled mine, "Woman's work is never done".  This one is fairly large also.

and, I also started LHN monthly SAL, Pear Tree recently (No pic).

Okay. I was feeling a little quilty after I attended a quilt workshop I signed up for, but was unprepared.  I did not have my fabby so I ended up just helping.  It was a lot of fun still.

So I gave myself a little ugly fabric quilt challenge.  Just something small to use as my primer since it has been a while since I've done a quilt.

I started with this fabric, added another or two and ended up with...

This. 

Lesson learned.  Work on the half square triangles.  Watch for the directional fabby'.

On to my Prairie Children and Their Quilts

 Small Quilt Challenge, Bear's Paw Quilt

I am debating hand quilting this little one, but not sure as yet.

Alright!  I am nearing end, and not so pretty pics.

This photo include the fabby's I used in the quilt from the quilt workshop.  I will post more pics of my progress.

This photo is a wall hanging I am preparing.  Will also post progression here.

Hope you all enjoi,

Jackie
