FEBRUARY

 Got me anew light for the desk--it works much better than one I had there and I can adjust it easier!



Got the second heart block --in yellow --

actually--looks like I worked on both--Jan's and Feb's blocks-

got about 32 yellow yo-yo's made-

and am doing '3' angel blocks in each color of the month--and needed to get them prepped-

Finally got the 4 thinking of you blocks I did last summer finished and in the mail--
to Anne, Alice, Sunny and Carol H--

I played with the new iron-

and got some tops pressed along with backings and battings--and really like how it works--

got these 3 done for hand quilting--and started hand quilting on the top one--
the Christmas one--

Each day in February I did do the rectangle for the day for the Crabapple embroider along--


always enjoy doing these--

Got this quilt finished and hung up--all hand pieced and handquilted--

and got this one finished into a top-

But it's wider too--so has to wait on a longer table before getting it put together--


a larger size baby sweater--

got a new cart to hold my projects in progress in--is at the end of my sewingmachine table-


Won a give away on Mari's site--

Frannie and I went to the Zoo--at 9am and stayed an hour before it got too crowded for us--
then went to Hobby Lobby where I got these 2 new plates for eating my lunch and dinner on-and 
some more baby yarn--and 3 new pcs of blues for the newest hand piecing project--




And then we went to lunch at Cracker Barrel--and they had outdoor seating--
when we went in to pay--I found the little red truck--figure I can decorate it for each holiday!
we had a lovely day out!



These are the 4 blocks I picked to do this month--all hearts!!!

This is where I am on the round robin top--but not sure I will do anymore on this one other than add a border or two--

First step on the new hand piecing project--


Prep work on Jenny's year long applique/embroidery stitch along--
and--
some other prep work--



got my little red truck finished--
and started on the Farmhouse series--a set of 9 blocks--

I just need the red thread for this one to be finished--but am waiting for it to come in the mail--

I also joined a mail monthly club--Just another button Co--

we get a free pincushion pattern and a set of 3 cute pins--

and at a trip to Beaul's for my new sketchers --this cute critter came  home with me--
who can resist those eyes--(Frannie took me--she bought 3 prs of sandals!!)

On a very sad note--my dear friend--Margaret passed away this month-I will miss her
checking on me each week and all her advice on to handle my MCS issue!
