Two more done

Well, well, I now have two more projects done for my Frayed Edges challenge. It sure makes me happy that I am finally getting some more UFOs finished. The top one is from a Carol Doak class which I took through my quilt guild and is called "Fire and Ice". The bottom one is a Christmas table topper that I made for a display at the quilt shop where I used to work. Wow, that one is pretty old! Right now I'm working on a quilt for Project Linus for their Camp COCO project. Camp COCO is a summer camp for children with cancer and the blankets need to have some kind of outdoor/camping theme. I really love doing this for them.
I need to get busy deciding what I'm taking to Florida to work on. I have a limited amount of space in the trunk of the car so I need to choose wisely. We were working at getting his mother's house cleaned out today. There is still a lot of stuff but we have it pretty much divided up. His sister in Missouri is getting a bit more than she planned, I think, because if we didn't know what to do with something we said "Give it to Lily";-)

I think it's about time to go to bed now. My back hurts from lifting boxes of "stuff". Adios

Long time absent

I've been absent from blogworld for a while. My mother-in-law was ill and in a nursing home and she has now passed away. It has been hard to deal with but she was in such pain, at least we know that she is in a much better place. God bless you, mom, we love you.

On a much lighter note, my Frayed Edges quilt group have challenged each other to see who can finish the most projects this year. This is a buck-a-block quilt from 2006. I had about half of the blocks done so I got myself together and did the rest of it. Really, it didn't take all that long because it is a kid size quilt.
This is an Irish chain that is even older, I think I made the top around 2004 and just had it stuck away in a drawer.


This little table runner is one that I have had in the same drawer, just not for as many years. Wow, it feel good to get these old things done finally but I still have so many to do. Maybe I'll win the prize for most UFOs finished.
