Completed Premiee Quilts

Ok.. I've completed the 2 premiee quilts I was working on 

so now 3 CQed quilts are ready for delivery to the local hospital.

4th AQP quilt finished

5th AQP premiee quilt finished

And now to some more finishes.. I have a more RR blocks to finish up with and I'd really like to get that stitching on that jean jacket done before neither of my kids can wear the jacket!

RR finishes

I have had several finishes with the RR blocks that have been awaiting my atttention since before christmas and the memorial panels :O)

Here are some eye candy of my work.

Jacqui's Sew it is Christmas

Peggy's All About Sewing

Next Up are some RR blocks that I'm angeling

Pam's Basicly Beaded

Merle's Basicly Beaded

Arlene's Basicly Beaded

This one the corner spray had already been done my Arlene and the seam treatment with the button flowers was done by Susie who I'm Angeling for

Completed UFO and more!

I have finally managed to finish a UFO!

This has been sitting waiting for me to add the binding on it for months!

Shame on me I know but I stopped because I had to buy the material for the binding and then never got back to it.  But as my New Year Resolution is to get some UFOs into the finished pile... I got to and got this one done!

AQP premiee quilt #3

After that was done I got to and made another quilt top as when these are donated to the hospital I like to have at least 2 crazy patched ones... just because :O)

 And then the next day I decided I wanted one that's more for a boy so I started this one. 

It will have border strips in the brown, plaid before it's finished and the binding will be done in the dark blue.

I had such a wonderful time opening all my CQing packages on Christmas Eve.

Pictures truly on worth a thousand words... so here's a FEWpics :O)

My SS packages came all the way from Portugal!

All this came in those packages.

I really love the varigated Christmas thread. and the strawberry that hides a shopping bag.

Thank you Maria!

A beaded butterfly motif!!! WOW

Thank you Kerry!

CRACKER #3

This cracker came from Ingrid.
The one that came with the extra large baggie of goodies to that wouldn't fit in the cracker and no wonder!

these were on the ends of the cracker and I plan to reuse them on  a cracker I make for next year.

The pins in the pincushion came in this cracker and they went immediately to my new pincushion.

Several gorgeous christmas print fabrics

Aren't these just the cutest!

This was made especially for me... I love it!

There was just soo much in the cracker!

 And can you believe with all this that Ingrid actually apologized for not making a CQed block for the outside of the cracker!

Ingrid I love it all and you've spoiled me absolutely rotten how could anyone be sorry there wasn't a CQed block covering all these goodies!

THANK YOU INGRID!

Mom's Memorial Panel Completed!

I did it!

I finally finished the last panel that I will be able to finish before Christmas.

My Mom's!

Mom's Memorial Panel

Day 11 & 12

All of these 12 Days of Christmas gifts have me spoiled rotten!

But I have to admit that the last two I've enjoyed the most.

Day 11

... eleven bits so charming.

How charming is that?!?1  as you can see sticking out the top I wasted no time in putting my new Ort Bag to use.   I just LOVE it!

Perfect complimentary colours to my living area as well... it's as much decoration as it is useful!

Day 12 

... ONE BIGGGGG SURPRISE!

And a big surprise is was indeed... and GORGEOUS!  

I have loved these fancy pincushions from a far for some time and now I have one of my very own.

and now I can share and know for sure that my Special CQ friend is as my second thought was.... Leslie!

Thank You Thank You Thank You... You have made this the best Christmas ever for me. :O)
