FEBRUARY 2011

First thing I got done this month was basting the ABC quilt from 7-8 years ago==
took me 5 1/2 hours to baste!!!


Decided to do a blanket stitch with emb floss around all the letters--
and the leaves on the center row__-

am waiting on more emb floss--so started actually doing the hand quilting on the rows that are ready--

This one row of large centered blocks--I did cats in the center of 4 blocks and a heart in the center of the the 5 th one

Joined the bom at Sue's--


And Feb block is done--

Did Shell's bom for Jan and added some beads--really like it!!

and have decided to do the Home Sweet Home one--
but I need a honey bun or need to use another collection as it takes only 1 1/2 inch strips!!!

am using up a honey bun roll to do this one!!
