New Year 2014

I've decided that this will be the year that my UFOs will finished! A list of goals for each month has been made; and the first item on the January list is done. It was to finish the "fivies" units for the Classic Strippy quilt from Bonnie Hunter's book Leaders and Enders. I have made 280 of them!

Now I'm working on item #2- finishing Dixie Diary-the  2013 BOM from Barbara Brackman's Civil War Quilts blog.

December Retreat

Went for a short retreat from December 5 to 7th at Threads and Beds in Danville. 

Finished the baby quilt top for DH's first grandbaby (a boy) coming in January.

Worked on Classic Strippy from Bonnie Hunter's book "Adventures with Leaders and Enders".

Made the "fivesies" units while sewing other projects over the past couple of years.

Who knew there were so many ways to sew red triangles onto fivesies units? and only one right way! Spent a lot of time with my seam ripper, but eventually made parallelograms pointing in the right direction.
