I've been working on my Lincoln Museum Quilt since Christmas Day. It has been a really fun project. I have it all pieced and ready to go to the quilter. I'm hoping I can get it back for a birthday gift soon. Thanks for the inspiration Juliann and Lori.
This isn't a great picture, but it will give you an idea of what the top will look like when it is completed!

I hope all of you have a very happy, productive and adventurous New Year! I have resolved to be a better blogger this year.

Just after Christmas I started a new project. It is the Lincoln Museum Quilt. I decided that the fat quarters of fabric waiting to be sewn into another project would work in this one so I "repurposed" them and have been sewing away.

So far I have completed 13 stars



and 19 sixteen patch blocks.


24 blocks to go!

My blogging friends, Juliann and Lori are starting new quilts, so I thought I should join in!

We are sewing our own versions of the Lincoln Museum Quilt.




Since I don't love working with plaids or homespun fabric, I decided to use this fabric I had purchased to make a quilt, but never got it started.

Wow! The year has slipped by so quickly and I have been very remiss in posting about my quilting.
I have been sewing, but mostly have focused this year on our outdoor adventures.

I have recently started working on some languishing UFO's. I like to do handwork when we travel. On the way home from the Grand Canyon in November, I finished this candle mat for my mother in law. I had been making a set for her with one for every month. This one some how ended up unfinished until now. I gave it to her yesterday.

I have been sewing Farmer's Wife Sampler blocks for a long time! The blocks were all finished, but setting them was my hang up. I did not like the way the book set the blocks. I searched blogs and found a setting plan that I liked.

Well, I have been working on it, and the top is finally finished! Before you decide to get a king size bed, please contact me! LOL

I stood on a chair for this picture to give you an idea of how it looks. I'll post more pictures after it is completely finished!

Wow! January has been a long, cold month here in wintery Montana! I have passed the time sewing and listening to books! I have thoroughly enjoyed both activities, but feel a bit of cabin fever!

I finished a lap quilt top that I have been collecting green fabric to make. I love green and the way this throw came together! I had some extra blocks, so I made a pillow top as well.

The weather continues to be cold, or down right bad. I have been passing the indoor time sewing!
Another top is finished! This is top number 4!

This was a new start, and I'm really happy with how it came together!


Now I send it off to be quilted!
