It is becoming to look a lot like Christmas!

We had our first dust of snow this morning, last day of school. Sadly, it was all melted by lunch time but at least it was pretty this morning.

Although we put up our tree last week-end... before the tree skirt was finished, I am proud to say that  it is now finished and around the tree, I did the last stitch on the binding last night.

I made my skirt using blocks I made and received from the Christmas Scrappy Block Swap I took part in in August 2009! I know that was a looooong time ago... My blocks have been patiently waiting to be used since then. I only got them out about a week or two ago and decided that this was the year I was going to get them into a quilt, they were not going to wait yet another year until next Christmas.

This one is a real UFO when you think the blocks were pieced about 30 months ago. This is my 4th finish this year (and second in about 2 weeks) and I am hoping to have another one to report very shortly, only needs the binding now... Watch this space!

I'd featured this one on my blog and totally forgot to add it here.....such a doofus, aren't I???? LOL
Here's my version of Kaaren Johnson's (of The Painted Quilt fame) Raggedy Friends that I began last year and finished about 3 weeks ago.

You can read more about it  and see more photos on my blog here.

Progress report on my calendar quilt.

When I pulled this out yesterday morning I had 3 completed blocks, several buttonholed blocks and an assortment of triangles and squares. Thought it would be good to sash as I went so as this is a scrap quilt I went hunting and found the green homespun and the corner square fabric so away I went.and here is row 1 completed.
